6 Days Kerala Trip Overview

Kerala Backwater Tour With Munnar Varkala is a 6-day journey through Kerala, combining Munnar’s misty tea hills, Thekkady’s wildlife landscapes, Alleppey’s famous backwaters, and Varkala’s Arabian Sea coastline. Beginning in Kochi, the route offers a varied mix of hills, nature, culture, backwaters, and beaches.

The journey starts with a scenic Western Ghats drive to Munnar via Cheyyappara and Valara waterfalls. A full day in Munnar covers tranquil dams, viewpoints, tea heritage, waterfalls, Blossom Hydel Park, Photo Point, and the natural surroundings of Eravikulam National Park.

Continue to Thekkady for Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, Periyar Lake, spice plantations, cultural experiences, and scenic viewpoints before travelling through Kerala’s countryside to Alleppey.

The coastal side of the tour includes an excursion to Varkala for Sree Janardhana Swamy Temple, Varkala Beach, and dramatic cliffside views. The final day brings Alleppey’s museum, lighthouse, beach pier, and celebrated temples before the journey concludes with departure from Kochi.
