Beautiful Kerala Tour

Arrive in Kochi and proceed on a picturesque drive through the countryside of Munnar, a popular hillstation known for lushgreen tea estates. Munnar - a haven of peace and tranquility - the idyllic tourist destination, is set at an altitude of 6000 ft in Idukki district. It was the favored summer resort of the erstwhile British rulers in the colonial days. On arrival, check-in to your hotel.

Enjoy visiting sections of Old Munnar, which include the charming old Christ Church. Thereafter, visit Mattupetty Lake, created by the small hydro-electricity dam and flanked by steep hills and woods. In the afternoon, be at leisure to enjoy the charming weather and beauty of this beautiful hillstation.

This morning, you will drive into the heart of the spice hills in Thekkady of Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. Rest of the afternoon is free to enjoy a walk through the bustling spice market of Kumily village in Thekkady or you have the option of taking a boat cruise on Lake Periyar, which is the best way to locate wildlife in Periyar Sanctuary (on direct payment basis).

Today, you will drive to the idyllic backwaters of Kerala. Kumarakom is undoubtedly the most invigorating, fascinating paradise. The slender coconut palms, never-ending stretch of paddy fields, meandering lagoons and backwaters, mangroves and nesting birds of a hundred species can peacefully calm and invigorate your mind with renewed inspiration for your vocation and life. On arrival you will check-in to your hotel.
