Afterward, enjoy a guided tour through a dense spice plantation to learn how Kerala’s world-famous spices are grown and harvested. You may also opt for an elephant ride or nature walk (payable directly). Return to your hotel for an overnight stay.

FAQ

What type of clothing should I pack for this trip?

Because this itinerary covers different elevations, packing layers is key. Bring comfortable, breathable cotton clothing for the warm and humid climate in Cochin and the Alleppey backwaters. For the hill station of Munnar, temperatures can drop significantly in the early mornings and evenings, so a light jacket, sweater, or shawl is highly recommended. You should also pack comfortable walking shoes or sneakers for the wildlife safari and spice plantation tours in Thekkady.

Are the houseboats air-conditioned the entire time?

In standard Deluxe Houseboats, the air conditioning in the bedrooms is typically turned on only during sleeping hours (from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM) while the boat is anchored. If you prefer a Premium or Luxury Houseboat with full-time day-and-night AC, please let us know during booking so we can upgrade your package.

Is the Periyar Wildlife boat safari guaranteed?

While the morning boat safari on Periyar Lake is included in your itinerary, wildlife sightings (such as wild elephants or deer) are subject to chance as the animals roam freely in their natural habitat. The serene boat ride itself, however, offers stunning views of the dense forest surrounding the lake.

What is the best time to take this Kerala tour?

The most popular time to visit Kerala is during the winter season (September to March) when the weather is cool, dry, and perfect for sightseeing across Munnar, Thekkady, and Alleppey. The monsoon season (June to August) is also a beautiful time for nature lovers who want to experience the lush, vibrant greenery and rejuvenating Ayurvedic wellness retreats, though outdoor activities like boating may occasionally be impacted by heavy rain.
