Short Escape
Munnar & Alleppey
A compact Kerala getaway combining the cool hill scenery of Munnar with a relaxed backwater experience.
Discover Kerala through misty Munnar, spice country in Thekkady, Alleppey’s backwaters, historic Kochi and the beaches of Kovalam.
Choose a route that suits the number of days you have, then customise the hotels, experiences and pace around the way you want to travel.
Final pricing depends on travel dates, hotel category, number of travellers and selected inclusions.
One day you can wake up among tea-covered hills. The next, you can be travelling through spice country or watching coconut palms pass from a houseboat.
That variety is what makes Kerala such a good road-trip destination.
Munnar is especially known for its rolling tea plantations, misty valleys and hill landscapes, while Thekkady is closely associated with Periyar and spice-growing country.
Start with a practical Kerala route, then customise hotels, nights, houseboat options and experiences around your travel style.
