Day-wise Itinerary (4 Days / 3 Nights)

Day 1: Kochi Arrival — Drive to Munnar via Cheeyappara Waterfall

Land at Cochin Airport and meet your driver representative at the exit. The journey to Munnar takes you through Kerala's green interior — rubber and banana plantations give way to steeper hills as you gain altitude. En route, pull over at Cheeyappara Waterfall, a seven-tiered cascade that drops dramatically along the side of the national highway — a good first look at what Kerala's landscape is about. Reach Munnar, check in to your hotel, and settle in for the night.

Meals: None

Day 2: Munnar Full Day — Tea, Wildlife, Gardens & a Scenic Dam

Breakfast at the hotel, then a full day of sightseeing across Munnar's most-visited spots. Eravikulam National Park is first — home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, the park sits at high elevation with unobstructed views across rolling tea-covered slopes. The Tata Tea Museum next door traces the entire journey from leaf to cup and is more interesting than it sounds — especially if you take the plantation walk. After lunch (on your own), visit Blossom Park, a well-maintained floral garden ideal for a stroll, followed by Mattupetty Dam where optional boating is available. Echo Point, a short drive away, lets you hear your voice bounce off the surrounding hills. Return to the hotel before dark and rest up.

Meals: Breakfast

Day 3: Munnar to Alleppey — Into the Backwaters

After breakfast and hotel checkout, the drive from the hills to the coast is a pleasant three-and-a-half hours through coconut groves, paddy fields, and small Kerala towns. Alleppey — referred to as the Venice of the East — is built on a network of canals and lagoons fed by the Arabian Sea. Check into your hotel, then head out for a houseboat cruise (arranged independently at local rates, typically INR 3,000–8,000 depending on duration). Float past village life, palm-lined canals, and paddy-field banks as the sun drops. Overnight at the Alleppey hotel.

Meals: Breakfast

Day 4: Alleppey to Kochi — Departure Day

A relaxed final breakfast, then check out and board your transfer back to Kochi. The drive takes roughly one and a half hours and gets you to Cochin Airport comfortably ahead of most afternoon flights. Kerala has a way of feeling both slow and full at the same time — and four days here tend to leave people already planning their return.

Meals: Breakfast

Exclusions

  • 5% GST applicable on the total package cost — charged at the time of booking

  • All meals not listed in inclusions: lunches, dinners, and highway refreshments on all days
  • Entry fees to Eravikulam National Park, Tata Tea Museum, Blossom Park, Mattupetty Dam boating, and all viewpoints

Know Before You Go

  • Eravikulam National Park closes from roughly January to March each year during the Nilgiri Tahr calving season — confirm current status before your travel date
  • The Alleppey houseboat cruise is not included in the package price; local operators charge INR 3,000–8,000 depending on the boat type and cruise duration
  • Munnar evenings are cool throughout the year — carry a light jacket or fleece even if you are travelling in the summer months
  • The best window for Kerala travel is October to March; the monsoon (June–September) brings very heavy rainfall, especially in Munnar, but the landscape turns intensely green
  • Carry sufficient cash for entry tickets, museum fees, and boating — card machines are unreliable at several national park counters and dam viewpoints
  • Package pricing is applicable for a minimum group of 4 persons — solo or couple bookings will attract a different rate; check with us before confirming
  • 5% GST is added over the package price at booking — factor this in when comparing options with other operators

Traveler Reviews

4.8 ★ (124 reviews)
Pooja Agarwal — 5 ★

Took this trip with my husband as a quick post-wedding break and it was exactly what we needed. Munnar in the morning, with fog everywhere and no one around — that alone was worth it. The hotel sorted breakfast and our driver was punctual throughout. Alleppey on Day 3 was completely different and equally good.

Vikram Bhatia — 4 ★

Solid package for the price. Four days felt short but the itinerary is honestly well sequenced — hills first, backwaters later works better than doing it the other way. Eravikulam was the highlight for me. The houseboat is on your own which I would have liked to know beforehand, but otherwise no complaints.

Sunita Rao — 5 ★

Booked this for a family trip of six and everything was smooth from Kochi pickup to the final drop. Munnar was greener than I expected even in November. The tea museum was genuinely interesting and the kids loved Mattupetty Dam. Would book through Pack and Go again without a second thought.
