Take a leisurely boat ride on Lake Periyar and get up close with Asian elephants, wild boars, and tigers in their natural habitat. In their shadow, take a hike through a nearby spice plantation with aroma sifting in every corner.
A boat ride from Athirapally takes guests to a waterfall where the water cascades down a height of 80 feet, and each drop is a bliss that has a way of transporting you to another world. Later, go on an evening bird-watching trek in the nearby forest.
Explore the meandering backwaters of Kerala on a houseboat ride complete with comfortable sleeping accommodations, traditional Kerala-style meals, and stunning scenery that gently floats past you for several hours.
End the 5-day nature journey with an awe-inspiring view of the sunset over the Arabian sea at Varkala. Take a dip in the sea, lounge at the sandy outcrops, or take in some yoga, meditation, and ayurvedic spas that the beach town has to offer before transferring to Trivandrum International Airport 47km away.
Be sure to pack comfortable clothes and shoes for hikes and a light rainjacket. Consider adding a visit to Thekkady Wildlife Sanctuary for a unique interaction with Kerala's wild animals. For travellers with less time, skip Athirapally Waterfalls and head straight to Alleppey Backwaters instead or skip Varkala Beach if short on time.
