Start your trip with a visit to Fort Kochi - the historic coastal area known for its charming colonial architecture and street markets. Stroll around the area to get a feel of its heritage and visit its landmarks, including St. Francis Church, Dutch Palace, and Chinese Fishing nets.
Board a traditional houseboat to explore the tranquil backwaters of Alleppey. Relax as you float peacefully through the lagoons, canals, and waterways. Savor the local Kerala cuisine prepared on the boat and watch the sunset over the water while you sip coconut water.
Kerala is known as the land of Ayurveda, so have a revitalizing experience at a reputed Ayurvedic wellness center. Luxuriate in a steam bath, rejuvenate with a therapeutic Ayurvedic massage, or get a refreshing herbal facial. After the treatments, enjoy a healthy and flavorful vegetarian meal.
Spend a relaxed day on Kovalam Beach - a perfect combination of sun, sea, and sand. Take a stroll on the beach to see the magnificent lighthouse, capture the views from the top, and chill out in the many beach shacks. You can also admire the sheer cliffs and bluffs or get a rejuvenating Ayurvedic massage by the shore.
End your trip with a lush and rejuvenating visit to Munnar- a hill station known for its scenic tea plantations, beautiful waterfalls, mist-enveloped mountains, and wildlife reserves. Take a guided nature walk to the scenic spots including the Echo Point, Mattupetty dam, and the Kannan Devan tea museum. Also indulge in some tea-tasting and shopping for local souvenirs.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Pazhassiraja Museum and Art Gallery, Thrissur Zoo and Museum, Athirapally waterfalls, and the Periyar National Park. For those with less time, consider trimming your stay at Fort Kochi or Kovalam Beach to a single day. Always check for opening and closing timings before visiting any place.
