Itinerary Detail

Day 1:

Arrival in Cochin

Upon arrival at Cochin International Airport, our representative will welcome you with a traditional greeting and escort you to your hotel. After checking in and refreshing, begin exploring the historic port city of Cochin. Visit Fort Kochi with its European colonial influences, the ornate Mattancherry Palace (Dutch Palace) with its remarkable mythological murals, the 16th-century Jewish Synagogue in the heart of Jew Town, and the impressive Santa Cruz Basilica. Continue to St. Francis Church, India’s oldest European church where Vasco da Gama was originally buried.

As the afternoon wanes, experience one of Kerala’s most romantic sights—the iconic Chinese fishing nets silhouetted against the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Enjoy your first dinner together in Kerala at a recommended waterfront restaurant serving fresh seafood and authentic Kerala cuisine. Overnight in Cochin.

Day 2:

Cochin to Munnar (126 km / 4 hours)

After breakfast, journey to Munnar, a picturesque hill station nestled in the Western Ghats at nearly 6,000 feet above sea level. The scenic drive takes you through mist-covered mountains, dramatic waterfalls (especially impressive during monsoon season), and endless stretches of emerald tea plantations. En route, stop at strategic viewpoints for photographs and perhaps at a spice garden to learn about Kerala’s famous spices.

Upon arrival in Munnar, check into your romantic mountain resort. Spend the remainder of the day at leisure—perhaps enjoying a walk through the tea plantations surrounding your accommodation or simply relaxing on your private balcony with mountain views. Dinner and overnight stay in Munnar.

Day 3:

Munnar Exploration

Wake up to crisp mountain air and panoramic views before setting out to explore Munnar’s highlights. Visit Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr and spectacular vistas from Rajamalai. Continue to Mattupetty Dam and its serene lake, perfect for a quiet boat ride together. Visit the Indo-Swiss Farm, where you can observe dairy farming techniques established through international collaboration.

Explore the Tea Museum to understand the process behind Kerala’s famous brew, followed by Echo Point where you can playfully experience natural acoustics. As the day progresses, visit Kundala Lake for stunning sunset views across the water. In the evening, stroll through Munnar’s markets hand-in-hand and visit the century-old Christ Church for its peaceful ambiance. Return to your resort for a romantic dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4:

Munnar to Thekkady (85 km / 3 hours)

After breakfast, check out and drive to Thekkady, home to the renowned Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. The journey offers magnificent views as you descend from the high mountains through spice plantations and dense forests. Upon arrival, check into your wilderness resort and take some time to relax in your new surroundings.

In the afternoon, embark on a romantic boat cruise on Periyar Lake within the national park. Float quietly across the tranquil waters as you watch for wildlife coming to drink at the lakeside—elephants, sambar deer, wild boar, and numerous bird species are commonly spotted. If you’re visiting during the rare Neelakurinji bloom (occurring once every 12 years), you’ll be treated to hillsides covered in blue flowers.

For adventure-seeking couples, optional activities include guided nature walks, bamboo rafting, or a jungle patrol alongside forest rangers. Enjoy a candlelit dinner and overnight stay at your resort in Thekkady.

Day 5:

Thekkady to Alleppey (150 km / 3 hours)

Following breakfast, journey to Alleppey (Alappuzha), the Venice of the East. Upon arrival, board your private luxury houseboat (kettuvallam)—a highlight of any Kerala honeymoon. These traditional rice barges have been converted into floating accommodations with modern amenities, including en-suite bedrooms, private decks, and dedicated staff.

Cruise through the tranquil backwaters, a network of canals, lakes, and lagoons running parallel to the Arabian Sea coast. Observe rural Kerala life unfolding along the shores—farmers working in emerald paddy fields, women washing clothes, children playing, and birds soaring overhead. Enjoy a special lunch prepared by your onboard chef featuring fresh local ingredients.

As the sun begins to set, your crew will anchor in a quiet spot. Consider sampling traditional toddy (palm wine) while watching the golden sunset from your private deck. Enjoy a freshly prepared candlelit dinner under the stars before retiring to your cabin. Overnight on the houseboat.

Day 6:

Alleppey to Kovalam (160 km / 4 hours)

Wake to the gentle sounds of the backwaters and enjoy breakfast on deck before disembarking. Drive to Kovalam, Kerala’s premier beach destination known for its crescent-shaped beaches bordered by coconut groves. Upon arrival, check into your beachfront resort and take time to relax.

Spend the afternoon enjoying the beautiful beaches of Kovalam. Take a romantic stroll along the shore, sunbathe on the golden sands, or swim in the warm waters of the Arabian Sea. For more active couples, various water sports are available including surfing and parasailing. Alternatively, indulge in a couples’ Ayurvedic massage treatment, for which Kerala is renowned worldwide.

In the evening, watch the sunset over the ocean, perhaps while enjoying fresh seafood at a beachside restaurant. Overnight in Kovalam.

Day 7:

Kovalam with Kanyakumari Excursion

Begin with a leisurely morning on Kovalam Beach before embarking on a day trip to Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin), the southernmost tip of mainland India where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean meet. Visit the ancient temple dedicated to Goddess Kumari (the virgin goddess) and witness the unique phenomenon of being able to see both sunrise and sunset over the ocean from the same spot.

Visit the impressive Padmanabhapuram Palace, a magnificent wooden palace dating from the 16th century with remarkable architecture and interiors. If time permits, take the short ferry ride to Vivekananda Rock Memorial, situated on a small rocky island offshore where Swami Vivekananda meditated.

Return to Kovalam by evening for your final night in Kerala. Enjoy a special farewell dinner at your resort. Overnight in Kovalam.

Day 8:
