A JOURNEY TO SHAPE TOGETHER
Kerala, at your own pace
A journey from coastal streets to tea country and the backwaters.
Your journey, day by day.
Fort Kochi 2 nights · Munnar 2 nights · Thekkady 2 nights · Alappuzha 1 night
- DAY 1
Arrive in Kochi
Settle in after your flight. If arrival time allows, take a short waterfront walk; keep any formal sightseeing for tomorrow.
OVERNIGHT · Fort Kochi - DAY 2
The stories of Old Kochi
Explore Fort Kochi’s heritage streets and waterfront, then visit Mattancherry for its palace and trading-quarter context. Check opening days before deciding the order.
OVERNIGHT · Fort Kochi - DAY 3
Into the tea hills
Leave the coast for Munnar. Treat this as a transfer day with rest stops, keeping the afternoon flexible rather than promising a full sightseeing programme.
OVERNIGHT · Munnar - DAY 4
A day in Munnar
Choose tea heritage and landscape viewpoints. Eravikulam can be considered if open and tickets are available; use a town or tea-country alternative during park closures.
OVERNIGHT · Munnar - DAY 5
Across the highlands
Travel onward to Thekkady and settle in around Kumily. A pre-arranged spice-garden visit can add context if the journey leaves enough time.
OVERNIGHT · Thekkady - DAY 6
The Periyar landscape
Choose one authorised Periyar programme, subject to advance confirmation. Leave the rest of the day for a relaxed meal and the town; sightings are a matter of chance.
OVERNIGHT · Thekkady - DAY 7
Down to the backwaters
Travel to Alappuzha and check into a shore-based stay. Add a short boat outing only if arrival time and conditions allow; an overnight houseboat requires its own confirmed schedule.
OVERNIGHT · Alappuzha - DAY 8
A final waterside morning
If your flight permits, take a morning canal outing before the road transfer to Kochi. For an early flight, add a final night nearer the airport.
