A JOURNEY TO SHAPE TOGETHER
Across the Western Ghats
Bring Kerala and Tamil Nadu together in one thoughtfully paced journey.
Your journey, day by day.
Fort Kochi 2 nights · Munnar 2 nights · Thekkady 1 night · Madurai 2 nights
- DAY 1
Arrive on the Malabar coast
Arrive in Kochi and settle into the heritage quarter. Leave the day open for rest and a gentle first walk.
OVERNIGHT · Fort Kochi - DAY 2
Kochi’s trading stories
Combine the waterfront and heritage streets with Mattancherry. Choose a small number of sites and check their individual opening arrangements.
OVERNIGHT · Fort Kochi - DAY 3
Climb into tea country
Travel from Kochi into the Western Ghats. Use this as a transfer day, with time to enjoy the landscape and settle into your hill base.
OVERNIGHT · Munnar - DAY 4
Munnar at your pace
Choose a tea-focused visit and viewpoints. Consider Eravikulam only if its visitor area is open; keep a flexible alternative for rain or closures.
OVERNIGHT · Munnar - DAY 5
The spice-growing hills
Continue to Thekkady. Plan a relaxed introduction to Kumily; add a second night here if a full Periyar programme is a priority.
OVERNIGHT · Thekkady - DAY 6
Across to Tamil Nadu
Take the road onward to Madurai, allowing time for the descent from the hills. Avoid scheduling a fixed temple visit immediately after the transfer.
OVERNIGHT · Madurai - DAY 7
A day in Madurai
Explore the temple precinct and palace, following current entry and photography rules. Leave time for markets and a meal that reflects the city’s food traditions.
OVERNIGHT · Madurai - DAY 8
Depart from Madurai
Finish with your onward transfer. Confirm suitable flights before booking accommodation, or allow an extra travel day for an alternative gateway.
