Start your journey from Kochi International Airport and head straight to Athirapally Waterfalls, a majestic waterfall that stands tall at 80 feet and spans over 330 feet. You can take a dip in the waterfall's natural pool, go trekking, or zipline across the falls. After an adventurous day, retire to one of the nearby resorts for a comfortable stay.
Explore the Periyar National Park, home to a diverse range of flora and fauna including the Bengal tiger, Indian elephant, sambar deer, gaur, and the endangered lion-tailed macaque. Take a boat ride through the serene Periyar lake and soak in the tranquility of the nature around you. After an eventful day, retire to one of the luxury lodges around the park.
Travel to Vagamon, a paradisiacal hill station in Kerala, located on the Kottayam-Idukki border. Known for its lush greenery, rolling hills, and meandering rivers, Vagamon is a nature lover's paradise. Go paragliding, trekking or explore the pine forests on a mountain bike. Wrap up your day with an Ayurvedic massage and retire to one of the many cozy homestays in the area.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to Thekkady or Munnar for more nature and adventure activities. If you have less time, skip Periyar National Park and head straight to Vagamon. Don't forget to pack comfortable clothes, sunscreen, insect repellent, and of course, your adventurous spirit!
