The journey

Travel from Cochin into the high tea hills of Munnar before heading down to the peaceful palm-fringed backwaters of Alleppey. This four-day journey pairs roadside waterfalls, reservoir viewpoints and cool plantation air with an overnight cruise on a traditional houseboat.

Enjoy two nights in Munnar exploring scenic viewpoints, lakes and the local tea museum, with a possible visit to Eravikulam National Park. Finish your holiday gently drifting along backwater canals, taking in village life and staying aboard your boat.
