Useful Tips

Add more days to your itinerary if you want to spend more time in each location. If you have less time, consider skipping some places or combining activities. You can add a visit to the backwaters to your Marari Beach day or combine Thekkady Wildlife Sanctuary and Athirappilly Waterfalls. If you prefer cities, add Trivandrum to your itinerary for more urban adventures. If you want more nature, include a visit to Silent Valley National Park or Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary.
