Begin cradled on the water itself — arrive in Alleppey and board your houseboat straight away, cruising past the beach, canals and local markets before a night rocked gently by the backwaters. Drive to the rolling green of Vagamon, where pine forests and meadow grasslands invite rope cycling and pedal boating around the pilgrimage hill of Kurishmala.
Climb into the tea country of Munnar for a full day of sightseeing — dams, echoes, peaks, national park and tea museum — before descending to Cochin. Five days of water, meadows and misty mountains.
WHY GO?
This is a journey that begins the moment you arrive — your first night is spent afloat on a Kerala houseboat, lulled by water that seems to hum a lullaby. Then come the rolling green meadows of Vagamon, quiet and characterful, before the cinematic hills of Munnar.
It’s an adventurous, varied and gently romantic route through Kerala’s quieter corners — perfect for those who’ve done the classics and want something more. Every day offers a new landscape; every night, a new calm.
