India Packages · Kochi
Kerala Backwaters & Munnar Hills
The trip in a paragraph
Nothing rushed. You wake on a wooden houseboat as it drifts past rice paddies, spend a morning with a tea planter in Munnar, and end the trip on a Kovalam beach. Includes a home-cooked Syrian Christian meal and a night in a tree-canopy stay.
Best for couples and anyone who wants to actually rest on a holiday.
