Itinerary
Day 1 & Day 2
Highlights: Dutch Palace | Jewish Synagogue | St. Francis Church | Chinese Fishing Nets | 300-year-old Art Performance
Welcome to Kerala! Your first town of the tour is Kochi. Bestowed upon with several names, like ‘Mini England’ by Englishmen,
‘Homely Holland’ by the Dutch, and ‘Little Lisbon’ by the Portuguese, this coastal town of Kochi was the first of the European
colonies in colonial India. The city is an amalgamation of cultures of the Arabs, British, Chinese, Dutch, & Portuguese, and yet surprisingly retains its charm as a typical South Indian region! Explore the colonial jewels, the Chinese fishing nets and witness an intriguing art performance. Before leaving for Munnar the next day, interact with an experienced Yoga Guru and practice some Asanas.
Day 3 & Day 4
Highlights: Plantation Walk | Tea Museum & Factory | Tea Tasting | Pothamedu View Point | Yoga & Meditation Session
'The Green Paradise of Kerala', is a hill station known for its green landscape and natural beauty where you can see the breathtaking views of pristine valleys, lush mountains, and a variety of flora & fauna. Set at an altitude of 6000 feet in Idukki district, Munnar was the favored summer resort of the erstwhile British rulers in the colonial days. This beautiful town is best known for its tea plantations that can be seen for miles around on the gentle slopes of the Western range of mountains. Take a walk through the tea plantations, learn about the processing of tea and indulge in a Tea-tasting session. Visit the famous view points & capture pictures of a mesmerizing Munnar. Participate in a Yoga & meditation session amidst the lush green plantations to unwind before you move to your next destination.
Day 5 To Day 7
Highlights: Kalaripayattu Martial Art Performance | Nature Trek | Spice Plantation Tour | Boat Ride | Regional Culinary Demonstration | Ayurvedic Spa | Yoga & Meditation session
Thekkady, with its bountiful treasures of tropical flora and fauna, is truly an enchanting land in Kerala. The town is surrounded by the serene countryside, a long unending chain of hills, and spice-scented plantations. The cool climate, scenic vistas, and exotic wildlife sanctuary attract millions of visitors every year. The blissful ambiance of Thekkady has truly made it the most popular holiday destination in Kerala. Take an early morning nature trek to witness wildlife and also enjoy a boat ride. Visit a Spice plantation and Spice market. In the evening, you may choose to participate in a cooking demonstration by an experienced Chef or explore the nearby markets for some shopping. Indulge in a full day of relaxation and self care with a rejuvenating Spa, Yoga & Meditation session.
Day 8
Highlight: Overnight stay in a houseboat with freshly prepared meals by the Chef
The village of Kumarakom is a cluster of little islands on the Vembanad Lake, and this small water world is part of the Kuttanad region. Once a favored escape for British officials and aristocrats, Kumarakom’s tranquil backwaters became home to elegant waterfront estates - many of which still echo the region’s colonial past. Sail through the backwaters in a houseboat during the day, enjoy freshly prepared meals and stay overnight on the houseboat.
Day 9 & DAY 10
Highlight: Leisure beach relaxation time | Yoga & Meditation session
Built in the 9th century AD, Alleppey lies on the edge of the great Vembanad Lake. Alleppey is home to some of the cleanest beaches, beautiful water lagoons, and lake sides. A trip to Kerala is incomplete without experiencing a peaceful retreat at one of the beach front resorts. Relax by the beach and witness the beautiful sunset. Participate in a Yoga & Meditation session by the beach. Next day, you will be transferred to the international airport for your flight back home or for an onward journey, if you opt for an extension tour.
