About this trip
Four days out of Cochin taking in two very different sides of Kerala: the cool hill country around Munnar and the backwaters of Alleppey.
You'll spend time in the tea-covered hills visiting Munnar's parks and viewpoints before heading down to the coast for a night on a houseboat, drifting along the canals at a slower pace.
This runs as a private, fully guided tour, so it suits families or small groups wanting their own schedule rather than a fixed group departure.
What you'll do
- Spot wildlife in Eravikulam National Park
- See the view over Mattupetty Dam
- Visit Echo Point in Munnar
- Cruise the Alleppey backwaters on a houseboat
- Private and fully guided, so timings can flex to suit your group
- Mixes an active sightseeing pace in Munnar with a slower, relaxed stretch on the houseboat
- Suited to families or those wanting a private tour rather than joining strangers

Your free day in India
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in India — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you want lush scenery, a proper houseboat night, and a knowledgeable local guide. Think twice if you need varied activities beyond sightseeing.
- Munnar's tea gardens and misty greenery genuinely impress; the landscape alone justifies the trip.
- Houseboat night in Alleppey is genuinely peaceful; meals included (dinner, lunch, breakfast) add real comfort.
- Driver-guides like Joshi and Srinivasan are knowlegeable, polite, and shape the entire experience positively.
- Reviews focus heavily on scenery and guide quality; limited detail on activities, pacing, or value specifics.
