Tour Plan

Overview

Kerala is a haven for the serene backwaters, lush tea gardens, and pristine palm-lined beaches and everything beautiful. They fondly call it ‘God’s Own Country’ for a good reason. It never fails to fascinate its visitors for the place has a perfect natural setting to have an excellent getaway and create moments to be cherished for a lifetime.‍

Tour Highlights

We have also included a visit to the iconic hill station of Munnar, known for its lush greenery, tea plantations, and stunning landscapes. You can take a nature walk with your family, visit tea factories, and enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills.
To ensure a hassle-free trip, we have taken care of all your travel arrangements, including airport transfers, comfortable accommodations, and a private vehicle with a professional driver.
Most places you’ll visit across Kerala are rural, so I’d make the most of the shopping here, from the sari emporiums on Mahatma Gandhi Road, or M G Road for short (every city has one) to the jewellery showrooms at Jewel Junction.
There’s a tea museum and small spice market in Munnar, but the lure is the surrounding hills, blanketed by tea bushes and, as you climb higher, topped with thick forest. Spend two or three nights here and you can tackle some of the trails, which range from short tea-field wanders to peak-tackling hikes.
October to December is also a good time to visit, especially if you want to cover northern India as well. It’s worth noting that you might catch the tail end of the second monsoon season, which can result in short evening showers.
