End your day with a visit to the Mattancherry Palace for an insight into how the local Rajas lived.
Day two takes you to the beautiful hill station of Munnar. Wake up early and visit the Eravikulam National Park to spot some endangered species and breathtaking views of this vast green valley. Next, head to Mattupetty Dam and take a speedboat ride to see the beautiful forest-covered hills. Lastly, visit the Tea Museum for a firsthand understanding of the local tea-making process from leaf picking to brewing the perfect cup.
For the last day, take a trip to the 'Venice of the East,' Alleppey. Start with a serene ride on a Houseboat through the beautiful interconnected canals, enjoying the surrounding lush landscape. Take a stroll through the local markets, where you can find authentic souvenirs and sample the tasty street food. Finally, witness the incredible sunset from the Alleppey Beach.
