Tips

If you wish to extend the romance, add an extra night in Alleppey to enjoy a second houseboat night or a day trip to the tranquil backwaters of Kumarakom. To shorten the trip, skip the Kochi segment and spend Day 3 and Day 4 entirely in Araku Valley, which reduces travel time and overall cost while still offering devotion (nearby pilgrim sites) and romance amidst nature.
