Start your trip in Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala. Visit the Fort Kochi area to see the iconic Chinese fishing nets, the European Churches, and the Dutch Palace. Enjoy some local snacks and tea at the quaint cafes. Mattancherry Palace is also a must-see for its stunning murals. End the day with a sunset cruise at Marine Drive.
Hit the road to Munnar, the beautiful hill station known for its tea plantations, spice gardens and stunning Western Ghats. Take a guided tour of a tea factory and learn about the process of tea-making. Visit the Eravikulam National Park to witness the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. End the day with a campfire and stargazing experience.
Finish your trip with a trip to Alleppey, popularly known as the “Venice of the East”. Take a houseboat ride through the calm backwaters and explore the unique ecosystem and local life. Visit the historic Alleppey Beach for some fresh seafood and to watch the sunset.
If you have more time, consider a visit to Thekkady for a jungle safari or to Kovalam for some beach time. If you have less time, skip the tea plantation tour in Munnar or reduce your time on the houseboat in Alleppey. Try some local cuisine such as dosas, puttu, and seafood. Be prepared for some monsoon rains in June and bring a raincoat or umbrella.
