Editor's Review

The tour plan offers you a remarkably luxurious holiday experience as you journey through this beauty of a place called Kerala. The graceful villa situated amidst surroundings at Kofiland exhibits unparalleled luxury. Even the luxury hotels at Munnar and Cochin and the beach resort at Kovalam are sure to fascinate you. Well, that's not all. It is during the cruise through the scenic backwaters in the sumptuous houseboat that you realize how you've truly experienced Kerala.

During this memorable trip, you will visit the evergreen hill station of Munnar and be delighted by the sights of sprawling tea plantations. The chirping of exotic birds in the wild yet pleasant environment of Thekkady connects you to the natural world in a very special way. When you walk on the seashore at Kovalam and look at the horizon, the glorious view will fill you with awe. The adventurous boat rides, spellbinding viewpoints and historic sightseeing locations will add to and complete the experience.
