Begin your honeymoon with a romantic houseboat ride through the Alleppey Backwaters, a beautiful network of canals, rivers, and lagoons. Indulge in the serene environment, floating past scenic surroundings while savouring a delicious lunch on board. You can watch the locals catch fish, swim alongside flocks of migratory birds, and visit the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary.
Take a scenic drive to Munnar, a hill-station that offers stunning views, luxurious resorts, and the renowned Munnar Tea Plantations. The tea gardens offer panoramic views of verdant hills draped in tea bushes, and on a clear day, you can see miles of lush greens, relishing a cup of tea brewed from freshly plucked leaves. Visit the Tata Tea Museum to learn the science behind tea making and the fascinating history of this renowned drink in India.
End your honeymoon by relaxing on the sandy shores of Cherai Beach, which boasts a long stretch of golden sand and shallow-turquoise waters. Go for a swim in the clear water, take a stroll around the palm groves or enjoy some watersports activities like surfing, fishing or boating. After the sunset, take a long walk on the beach, listen to the crashing waves and indulge in a delicious meal and a refreshing cocktail at one of the beachside restaurants.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the hill station of Thekkady, famous for its tiger reserve, spice plantations, and Kathakali performances. Alternatively, you can skip Munnar and visit the historic port town of Fort Kochi. If you have less time, you can combine the first two days and stay at a hill-station resort around Munnar, or skip the houseboat ride and venture out to explore the Village life of Kumarakom.
