Kerala in Five Days: Hills, Spice and Backwaters

Kerala in Five Days: Hills, Spice and Backwaters

April 12, 2026 • By Admin

A route that balances Munnar's tea hills with a slow houseboat night in Alleppey.

The classic Kerala route runs Kochi to Munnar to Thekkady to Alleppey, and it works because every leg is under four hours of driving.

Spend two nights in Munnar; one is never enough once you see the light change over the tea estates.

The Alleppey houseboat is best booked as a private vessel with a chef on board — the food is a highlight in itself.

Monsoon travel (June to August) is beautiful and cheap, but expect closed viewpoints and slippery trails.
