Best Of Kerala with Kanyakumari

Your Kerala adventure begins! Upon arrival in Cochin, we embark on a spectacular drive toward the Munnar hills, often called the "Green Paradise of Kerala." The journey itself is a highlight, featuring breathtaking stops at the roaring Cheyyappara and Valara waterfalls, panoramic viewpoints, and the lush greenery of spice plantations. En route, we pause at Pallivasal and the bustling Adimali wholesale spice market before checking into your resort for a relaxing overnight stay amidst the tranquil hills.

After a relaxing breakfast, prepare for a full day of sightseeing designed to showcase Munnar's pristine natural beauty. Our journey takes us through breathtaking viewpoints and iconic destinations, starting with the beautiful Photo Point and the high-altitude grasslands of Eravikulam National Park (a sanctuary for the Nilgiri Tahr). We then proceed to the scenic Mattupetty Dam, a perfect spot for photography, followed by the fun-filled acoustics of Echo Point. You’ll also visit the tranquil Kundala Lake, where you can enjoy boating while taking in stunning views of the surrounding forest and Western Ghats. Conclude the day with a stop at Pothamedu View Point and Blossom Park before returning to your resort for the night.

After breakfast, check out from your Munnar resort and enjoy a scenic drive down the hills toward Alleppey (Alappuzha), famously known as the "Venice of the East." This transition takes you from rolling tea estates to the unique, flat terrain defined by vast backwater stretches and vibrant paddy fields. By noon (12:00 PM), you will board your traditional houseboat for an unforgettable experience. Spend the afternoon leisurely cruising the tranquil backwaters, enjoying the serene views of local life and the delicious, fresh cuisines prepared onboard. Your memorable overnight stay will be spent floating on the backwaters.

After a memorable breakfast aboard the houseboat, disembark in Alleppey and begin your scenic drive south to Kovalam, Kerala's internationally renowned beach destination. Upon arrival, check into your beach resort. Kovalam is famed for its shallow, calm waters, making it perfect for swimming and enjoying various water sports. Following lunch, we'll visit the iconic Kovalam Lighthouse for panoramic coastal views. Spend the rest of the afternoon unwinding on the beautiful shores of Samudra, Hawah, and Lighthouse beaches, perhaps watching a stunning sunset as the sun dips below the Arabian Sea. Enjoy a relaxing overnight stay at your resort.

After breakfast and checking out of your Kovalam resort, we drive to Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent. This destination holds great significance for both pilgrims and leisure travelers. Upon arrival and hotel check-in, we begin exploring the region's unique landmarks. We will take a ferry to the iconic Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the colossal Thiruvalluvar Statue, both dramatically situated on rocky islands offshore. Other visits include the beautiful Suchindram Temple and the Gandhi Mandapam. The evening culminates in a truly unforgettable experience: witnessing the glorious sunset at the precise point where the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal converge. Return to your hotel for an overnight stay.

Following breakfast, we embark on a fascinating day trip to Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram), the historic capital city of Kerala. This day is dedicated to exploring the city's rich cultural heritage. Our visits include the majestic Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple (subject to entry rules and dress codes), the impressive collection at the Napier Museum, the exquisite art at the Sree Chithra Art Gallery, and the unique architecture of the Kuthiramalika Palace (Mansion of Horses). We may also visit the local Zoo. In the late afternoon, we drive back to your resort in Kovalam for a final, relaxing overnight stay.

Spend your morning at leisure, relaxing at the hotel or enjoying the seaside until your midday check-out. 3 Seas Tours will then provide a smooth and punctual transfer service to the Trivandrum Airport or Railway Station, concluding your memorable holiday package.
