Explore the soul of Kerala on this nature-rich, culturally immersive journey across lush highlands and shimmering waterways. Begin in the historical port city of Cochin, known for its colonial architecture, Jewish synagogues, and vibrant spice markets. Travel to Munnar’s rolling hills and misty tea plantations, once the summer resort of the British Raj, and delve into the region’s aromatic history at tea estates and a heritage museum. Move on to Thekkady, where you’ll witness exotic wildlife and spice plantations amid a dense forest reserve in the Western Ghats. Then, float through the serene backwaters of Alleppey on a traditional houseboat, passing coconut-fringed canals, sleepy villages, and rice fields below sea level. Return to Cochin with a true understanding of Kerala’s diverse beauty, rich traditions, and culinary excellence.
