Visit Eravikulam National Park to see the endangered Nilgiri Tahr and other wildlife. Take a walk to the top of Top Station for breathtaking views of the surrounding hills.
Make your way to Alleppey, also known as the Venice of the East, for a relaxing day on a houseboat. Glide through the backwaters of Kerala, passing by lush paddy fields and small villages. Enjoy a freshly prepared traditional lunch onboard. In the evening, watch the sunset over the Arabian Sea and witness the daily traditional fishing activities. End the day with a delicious seafood dinner.
End your trip in the vibrant city of Kochi, where you can explore the rich cultural heritage of Kerala. Visit the historic Fort Kochi area and marvel at the Dutch, Portuguese and British architectural influence. Don't miss the St. Francis Church, the oldest European church in India. Witness the iconic Chinese fishing nets in action and enjoy fresh seafood at their adjacent restaurants. End the day with a performance of traditional Kathakali dance.
If you have more time, consider adding a day to explore Thekkady and visit the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary or take a rejuvenating ayurvedic massage. If you have less time, skip Alleppey and head directly to Kochi. June can be rainy in Kerala, so come prepared with rain gear and plan your outdoor activities accordingly. Don't forget to try the local cuisine, which is famous for its use of coconut and spices.
