🗺️ 3 Nights / 4 Days Customized Itinerary
Arrival in Kochi & Drive to Munnar Hills
Day 1
Arrive at the Cochin International Airport (COK) or Ernakulam railway station in the morning. Meet your private chauffeur and begin a scenic 4-hour uphill drive to the hills. Along the way, stop to admire the cascading Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls tumbling through dense green forests. As you climb higher, the air cools and sprawling tea plantations dominate the landscape. Check into your resort and spend a relaxed evening walking through nearby tea trails. Overnight stay in Munnar.
Munnar: Tea Gardens & Viewpoints Exploration
Day 2
Dedicate the day to exploring the hill station. Start with a morning drive to Eravikulam National Park, the natural habitat of the endangered Nilgiri Tahr mountain goat. Later, visit the engineering marvel of Mattupetty Dam (optional speedboat ride), the natural acoustics at Echo Point, and the peaceful Kundala Lake. Stop by a local Tea Museum on your return to see how fresh leaves are processed. Overnight stay in Munnar.
Munnar to Alleppey: Private Houseboat Stay
Day 3
Leave the hills after an early breakfast and descend to the lowlands (approx. a 4-hour drive). Arrive at the backwater jetty by 12:00 PM to board your private traditional houseboat (Kettuvallam). Enjoy a welcome drink as you drift past palm-fringed canals and local villages. Savor a freshly cooked traditional Kerala lunch prepared on board by your private chef. The boat anchors safely at 5:30 PM by the riverbank for a quiet night on the water. Overnight stay on the houseboat in Alappuzha.
Morning Cruise & Departure via Kochi
Day 4
Wake up to a quiet backwater sunrise. Enjoy a traditional breakfast on board during a brief morning cruise loop before disembarking at 9:00 AM. Your private driver will pick you up and transfer you back to Kochi (approx. 2 hours away). Depending on your flight time, take a quick drive through Fort Kochi to see the historic Chinese Fishing Nets and Mattancherry Palace before heading to the airport or railway station for your journey home.
