Itinerary
Day 01 Arrival At Cochin To Thekkady
Your tour across the scenic Kerala begins at Cochin. Once you arrive at the airport or railway station, our executives will come and take you to Thekkady. Visit the Periyar National Park, a protected reserve forest to start the tour on a green note. The Periyar Lake, one of the largest artificial lakes in India, too, is located close to the forest. You can engage in some boating here. However, the most interesting part and an experience you shouldn’t miss out on is the bamboo rafting, which is pretty much unique to Thekkady. If you have the time, you can make a short drive to nearby places like Kumily, Murikkady or Pullumedu to enjoy the greenery of the hills.
Day 02 Drive To Alleppey (3 Hours 34 Minutes – 138 Kms)
On the fourth day, you will be driven to one of the most popular tourist destinations in Kerala. An Alleppey tour is best started with a houseboat ride through the backwaters of Kuttanad and Vembanad Lake. Enjoy the ride in the accompaniment of some tasty food. The beaches in Alleppey, too are beautiful places worth spending time at. Visit the temples and churches to witness an integral part of their culture and lifestyle. Krishnapuram Palace, built by the King Marthandavarma during his reign, has now been converted into a museum, which makes for a very informative trip on Kerala’s culture and heritage.
