6 Days Kerala Trip Overview

The Kerala Backwater Leisure Tour With Munnar Varkala is a 6-day journey designed around an unhurried combination of misty hill landscapes, wildlife, traditional backwaters, spiritual sites, and Kerala's beautiful coastline. Starting from Kochi, the journey heads into Munnar through the Western Ghats, passing waterfalls, sprawling tea plantations, and rolling green hills.

Munnar offers two days of hill-station experiences featuring scenic dams, waterfalls, tea estates, viewpoints, and the natural surroundings of Eravikulam National Park. The journey then continues to Thekkady, where Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, Periyar Lake, spice plantations, cultural experiences, and panoramic viewpoints showcase another side of Kerala's Western Ghats.

From Thekkady, the tour travels towards Alleppey for one of its defining experiences—a traditional houseboat journey across Vembanad Lake and peaceful interconnected canals. Paddy fields, coconut groves, traditional villages, Kerala cuisine, and sunset views create a relaxed backwater experience before the itinerary continues with a coastal excursion to Varkala.

Varkala combines spiritual heritage with Varkala Beach and dramatic Arabian Sea views from the cliffside. Returning to Alleppey, the final sightseeing includes Revi Karunakaran Museum, Alappuzha Lighthouse, the beach pier, Ambalappuzha Krishna Temple, and Mannarasala Nagaraja Temple before this 6-day leisure journey concludes with a transfer to Kochi.
