Munnar - At 5000 feet it is not just south India’s most sought after hill resort, it is also the centre of Kerala’s premier tea growing district. Aptly known as the high range.  In Tamil, moon–aar literally means 3 rivers, a reference to streams around which the town grew. Shola trees hug the mist shrouded hillsides, sheltering several highly endangered species of wildlife.

Spend the days visiting all the tourist spots. Our expert driver cum guide will ensure that you have the best of time visiting all the places at your pace and taste.

 Mattupetty Dam: The Mattupetty lake and dam is a very beautiful picnic spot. The sprawling Kundala tea plantations and the Kundala lake are other attractions in the vicinity.

Echo Point is a popular adventure tourism destination. Trekking and nature walks are popular activities in this scenic destination with beautiful views of the green hills. The fresh mountain air, the mist-clad hills and panoramic view makes it worthy of a visit. Echo Point is on the way to Top Station from Munnar.                                                                 

Proceed for Eravikulam National Park.
Eravikulam National Park is a sanctuary set up for the preservation of the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. The main inhabitant of the park is Nilgiri Tahr.

Now the park has the largest known population of Nil Giri Tahr's existing in the world. The park exhibits the breathtaking natural splendor of rolling grasslands and exotic flowers. Anamudi (2,695 m), the highest peak south of Himalayas, towers over the sanctuary in majestic pride

Have a wonderful experience in the Tea Museum: This hill station is well known for its tea plantations. This museum highlights some very interesting facts and figures about the growth and development of tea plantations in Munnar and the finer aspects from plucking to packaging of tea.                

Proceed to Cheeyappara Waterfalls

Have a wonderful wash under the fresh green water .Located between Neriamangalam and Adimali on the Kochi-Madurai Highway, Cheeyappara waterfalls is a treat to the eyes. The fall cascades down in seven steps making it unique…

Visit to the Top Station: The highest point (1700m) on the Munnar-Kodaikanal road, Top Station offers a panoramic view of the majestic Western Ghats. The rare Neelakurinji (Strobilanthus), for which the destination is popular, blooms only once in every twelve years…sadly, you will have to wait till 2018 to view that.

 

Proceed in the evening for a long walk and get lost in nature. Walk through the tea Plantations. Return back to resort at your convenience …… of course our driver will be there to bring you back

Nights Stay in Munnar...
Day 2
After breakfast proceed to Alappuzha and check-in to our Premier houseboat…..

Alappuzha or Alleppey also referred to as “Venice of the east” is situated on the confluence of Vembanad Lake, Kerala’s biggest backwaters, and the Arabian Sea, offering a setting like nowhere else in the world. Its beauty is not merely in its backwaters, but in the man-made islands that you will find amidst the waters. These islands are hedged by mud walls, a haven for migratory birds, with paddy fields inundated with water through the year. These islands are special as they lie below the sea level and are found only here… Cruise along slowly in these intricate networks of canals (Kayals) passing through villages and paddy fields.

Enjoy the cruise in Vembanadu Lake, the serene backwaters of Kerala….. check-in to the meandering canals and swinging coconut palms…..witness the paddy fields of Kuttanad, perhaps the only place in the world where cultivation is done at 2mts below sea-level……an experience to cherish for life……..Also enjoy freshly cooked Kerala cuisine in the boat….

Nights Stay in the A/C deluxe House Boat…
Day 3 & 4 
Wake up to see the beauty of Vembanad Lake Spend some time. Enjoy a traditional Kerala Breakfast cooked right in your personal House boat Kitchen.

Azure waters and pleasant climate make Kovalam a great spot for swimming and sun-bathing. The natural bay offers some safe zones for swimming, kayaking, surfing and skiing. Surf boards and body boards can be hired on the beach. You can also hire a boat from the local fishermen for a bit if angling. The coast at many places is lined with beautiful patches of coral reefs which you can explore by snorkelling.

There are several ayurvedic massage and rejuvenation centres in and around the beach. At the waterfront, you can shop for local handicrafts and jewellery besides gorging upon the delectable seafood at the local restaurants.
