Start your trip in Fort Kochi, which is a melting pot of cultures and a treasure trove of historical monuments. The Dutch Palace, built in the 16th century, is a must-see with its beautiful murals depicting Indian mythology. The St. Francis Church, the oldest European church in India, is another noteworthy site. Catch a glimpse of Chinese fishing nets or go for a stroll in the lush greenery of the Fort Kochi Beach. Spend the night in Kochi, trying out some delicious seafood and watching a traditional Kathakali performance.
Wake up early and head towards Memmala to chauffeur along the winding roads that lead to Munnar. The tea plantations are sure to stun you with their lush greenery and beauty. Go for a morning walk around the Attukad Waterfall or hike up to the Echo Point to enjoy an incredible view. Take a visit the Mattupetty Dam and experience cruising along its tranquil waters. Wrap up the day with a traditional Ayurvedic massage before retiring for the night.
If you have an additional day to spare, you can consider visiting the backwaters of Kumarakom, which is a serene and peaceful experience. If you have a tight schedule, you might want to skip the Ayurvedic massage or one of the sightseeing spots.
