TOUR RATING
New on Evynx

Kerala's full landscape arc - Athirappilly, Munnar tea, Periyar wildlife, houseboat night.

About this tour

Eight days across Kerala's full landscape arc - Fort Kochi's colonial heritage, Athirappilly Falls (India's widest), the Munnar tea highlands, Thekkady's wildlife and spice country, the Alleppey houseboat backwaters, the Varkala cliff, and Kovalam beach, closing on a Trivandrum heritage morning before the flight home. Fort Kochi opens the trip with its Jewish Quarter, the Chinese fishing nets, and a Kalaripayattu evening. A dedicated stop at Athirappilly follows - the upper cliff view of the 330-metre-wide falls, the 600-step descent to the base pool, and the Vazhachal Sholayar forest trail - before the shola forest corridor climbs to Munnar. Here Eravikulam National Park opens its Nilgiri Tahr morning window, paired with the Kundala Lake and Lockhart Tea Museum circuit. The route then descends to Thekkady via Elephant Junction, with a Night Jungle Patrol through the buffer zone, and on to a private houseboat night on the Alleppey backwaters. The final stretch runs south past the Varkala cliff to Kovalam beach, ending at the Kuthira Malika Palace and Trivandrum Airport.

Highlights

  • Athirappilly Falls - 330m-wide upper cliff view, 600-step descent to the mist pool in Vazhachal reserve
  • Eravikulam National Park - Nilgiri Tahr feeding window at Rajamalai, the world's largest wild Tahr population
  • Kundala Lake and Lockhart Tea Museum - 1,700m pine-edge lake, Kerala's only colonial-era tea museum
