Catch a morning flight to Calicut International Airport and drive to Chembra Peak. Trek to the heart-shaped lake is a one-of-a-kind experience- an 8 km uphill journey worth taking to land in the lake's serene surroundings. It may be strenuous, but the breathtaking scenery and view from the peak will make it one of your most memorable experiences.
After breakfast, drive to Chalipuzha River, the perfect spot for a thrilling river-rafting adventure. Chalipuzha is Kerala's best-kept secret for adventure-seeking travellers who love water sports. The river flows through Vythiri in the Wayanad district, which provides a stunning backdrop for the adventure. Spend your day soaking in the thrilling rafts of Chalipuzha until evening and call it a day at a nearby resort.
Drive to Alleppey, where you can spend a unique day exploring the serene backwaters of Kerala by kayak. Paddle your way through narrow canals, palm-fringed waterways and explore the authentic lifestyle of the locals. You will also catch a glimpse of the traditional houseboats, providing you with an opportunity to soak in the boat-building experiences and wood carving techniques. End the day by indulging in some of Alleppey's finest seafood by the backwaters.
Suppose you have more time in Kerala, you might want to explore some plantation trails in Wayanad or spend a day exploring the spice markets in Kochi. If you are more inclined towards the coastal regions, Dyonisos in Varkala or The Tao Cafe in Kovalam might pique your interest.
If you have less time in Kerala, the river-rafting experience could be replaced with a visit to Athirapally waterfalls, a significant tourist hotspot in Kerala that's only 2 hours (70 km) from Kochi. Similarly, spend the day exploring the diverse historical landmarks in Kochi if backwater kayaking isn't your cup of tea.
