Begin your first day exploring the magnificent hill station of Munnar, which is known for its sprawling tea plantations, picturesque valleys, and misty mountain scenery. Start your trip with a visit to the Mattupetty Dam, Lake & Reservoir where you can enjoy activities like boating, horse riding, and trekking, giving you access to the scenic views of this tranquil spot. Next, head to the Tata Tea Museum where you can learn about the history of tea cultivation in this area and relish samples of various blends. Finally, end your day with a visit to the Top Station in Munnar, which provides visitors with an astounding panoramic view of the Western Ghats.
The second day would take you towards the countryside of Kerala with a peaceful boat ride along the Alleppey Backwaters. Enjoy your time in tranquility, surrounded by lush vegetation, quaint villages, and serene flowing water. Once you reach Alleppey, you can take a walk in the vibrant and colorful streets of the town exploring hidden alcoves, street food and witnessing the intricate architecture of the historic Buddhist temple Krishnapuram Palace. Finally, end the day with a sunset dinner cruise on the backwaters on a traditional houseboat and indulge in some delicious local cuisine.
If you have more time, consider visiting the charming hill towns of Thekkady or Wayanad. On the other hand, if you have lesser time, it is recommended to explore more of Munnar or Alleppey and skip some activities. Always carry sunscreen, insect repellent, and comfortable clothing as the weather may change quite frequently in Kerala. Do not forget to keep your cameras charged or carry spare batteries, as there are countless magical moments to capture during the trip.
