Begin your trip by exploring the port city of Kochi and its famous landmarks like Fort Kochi Beach, Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica, St. Francis Church and Chinese Fishing Nets. Stroll along the quaint streets of Mattancherry and witness the Dutch Palace with its stunning murals. End the day with a Kathakali Performance at the Kerala Kathakali Centre.
Experience the beauty of backwaters with a houseboat cruise from Alleppey. Explore the serene Vembanad Lake, coconut lagoons and catch glimpses of the nearby villages. Later, head over to the Periyaar Wildlife Sanctuary for a wildlife safari and bird watching expedition. Visitors can catch glimpses of elephants, sambar deer, leopards, and Lion-tailed macaques roaming freely in their natural habitat.
Spend your last day exploring the scenic beauty of Kerala with a hike through the tea plantations in Munnar, while enjoying the fragrant aroma of tea along the way. The next stop on your trip is the Marari Beach where you can unwind by the coast and ride the waves. End the day with a magical sunset at Kanyakumari Beach, where the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea merge together.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the famous Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum or indulging in some Ayurvedic massages and spa treatments. If you have less time, skip the Kathakali performance and spend more time at the beaches or hiking through the plantations. Don't forget to carry comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent at all times.
