Our driver will pick you up from the airport or railway station in Cochin. We will directly head to Munnar. En route the 4-hour drive, you will enjoy the spectacular views of scenic tea estates, rubber plantations and waterfalls. We will be covering the Neriamangalam Bridge, Rubber Plantations and Cheeyappara, Valara and Kallar Waterfalls. We will stop for a while at the famous Pothamedu View Point.

The Pothamedu View Point offers a spellbinding panoramic view of the tea, coffee and spice plantations spread across the valley.

Once we reach Munnar, you will check in to a beautiful farm stay called Kaivalyam Retreat. With serene surroundings, the retreat promotes a holistic way of life. After your lunch, we will take you to a tea museum and a little later, we could trek through tea plantations and visit the Attukal Waterfalls or we could take you to watch a beautiful cultural show. You can choose what you want to do.

At the cultural show, you will watch a highly-stylised classical dance drama and the ancient martial art form of Kerala. The show offers you a tremendous opportunity to get to know the distinctive aspects of Kerala's culture.

You can have dinner and rest for the night at the farm stay.

After your breakfast at Kaivalyam, you can get ready to experience the beautiful hill station of Munnar in its fullest sense. We will be covering prominent tourist attractions of the town and you can expect to enjoy some relaxing activities too.

Kashmiri Shikkara boats, pedal boats and row boats are available on rent at the lake. It is the boat rides that make the visit truly worthwhile.

Next, we visit a unique place where your voice is what will rule the picturesque environment.

The 30-minute adventure on the back of an elephant will bring out the child in you.

After a long and satisfying day, we will drop you back at Kaivalyam.

Have your breakfast at Kaivalyam and get ready for a three-and-a-half-hour drive to the pleasant town of Thekkady. After we reach Thekkady, you can enjoy activities including a boat ride, elephant rides and a spice plantation tour. Optional activities like nature walk, bamboo rafting, border hiking and jungle patrol can also be arranged depending on your interest. Some of these optional activities are only available during certain seasons. At Thekkady, you will spend the night in a beautiful room in a forest-themed resort.

The guided spice garden tour will not just be informative but also pleasing to the eye. 

Does the thought of befriending a giant creature excite you? Of course it does. Our next stop will help you do just that.

Have your breakfast at Forest Canopy and get ready for a long drive to the Vembanad Lake. We should reach Vembanad at around 12:00 PM.

At Vembanad, a beautiful houseboat awaits to welcome you. You will check-in at about noon and we only hope you have a memorable experience ahead. A houseboat cruise is the only right way to experience the serene backwaters of Kerala in its true essence. Since the boat cruises at a gentle pace, you will have plenty of time to relax and feast your eyes on the quaint village scenes across the lake. Some of the pleasant scenes include tropical coconut palms, paddy fields, traditional huts and cottages, beautiful canoes and villagers going about doing their daily chores. To add to your experience, you will also have an opportunity to try your hand at fishing during the evening. We are sure you will remember this journey for the rest of your life. 

Your houseboat will have an air-conditioned room with an en-suite bathroom. The air-conditioner is kept on only from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. But at an additional cost, you can have the AC on for the whole time. The houseboat staff consists of two heedful men who are always at your service.

All your meals will be taken care of by a special chef at the houseboat. You can always feel free to tell him your preferences. Tea, snacks and a welcome drink are also served to you during your cruise.

We hope you have a good sleep amidst the waters.

You will check out of the houseboat at about 9:00 AM after your breakfast and then we will drive back to Cochin. At Cochin, we will take you for some sightseeing. You could do some shopping as well depending on your flight/train timings.

After moving around the city a bit, we will drop you at the airport or railway station at a time convenient for you.
