Start your trip with an adrenaline-filled hike in the Western Ghats. Embark on a guided trek in the Munnar hill station and witness breathtaking landscapes of the tea plantations. Listen to the sounds of the forest and spot wildlife on your way to the summit. Take a moment to rest and enjoy a traditional Keralite meal before heading back down.
Spend the day on a houseboat ride through the backwaters of Alleppey. Witness the daily life of the locals while passing by villages and palm trees. Savor local cuisine on the boat and take in the relaxing scenery as you cruise through the waters. Take a stopover at a local fishing village to witness how they fish, cook, and live off the river.
Enjoy a day of surfing at Varkala beach and soak up the sun on its golden sands. Learn how to surf from experienced surfers and witness the stunning cliffs and sea views while out on the water. Venture out for a seafood meal at a local restaurant or market. Wind down by watching the sunset at the beach before heading back to your hotel.
If you have extra days, consider taking a day trip to Wayanad and see Pakshipathalam bird sanctuary. For shorter trips, you can still experience the Western Ghats by opting for a day trek at Chembra Peak. For relaxing beaches with fewer crowds, visit Kovalam or Marari instead of Varkala. If you're worried about the weather in June, try to plan and book your activities for earlier in the day before monsoon rains arrive.
