Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra day for a full‑day trek in the Western Ghats or a beach‑side camp at Kovalam. If time is tight, consider skipping the mall and helipad shopping stops or condensing the mangrove tour into a shorter boat ride to keep the itinerary within two full days while still covering the key attractions.
