Private 6 day Scenic and Cultural Tour in Kerala

About this activity

What sets this tour apart is the combination of Kerala’s most-loved experiences in one seamless private journey—from the tea-covered hills of Munnar and spice plantations of Thekkady to the famous Alleppey backwaters and relaxing beaches of Kovalam. With a private air-conditioned vehicle, dedicated driver, hotel stays, and an overnight private houseboat experience, travelers can explore Kerala at a comfortable pace without the hassle of arranging multiple transfers and bookings themselves. The route from Kochi to Trivandrum also gives travelers a well-rounded introduction to Kerala’s nature, culture, backwaters, hill stations, and coastline in just six days.
