Quick answer
A 6-day Kerala tour covers Fort Kochi (1 night), Munnar (2), Thekkady (1) and a private Alleppey houseboat (1), about 450 km by private cab. It costs from ₹27,500 per person. September to March is the best season, and the trip suits couples, families and parents.
Trip Overview
Kerala's four classic landscapes fit neatly into six days. Start in Fort Kochi among Chinese fishing nets and Jew Town, climb to Munnar's tea estates, wake to the spice gardens and Periyar forest around Thekkady, and finish on a private houseboat gliding through the Alleppey backwaters.
The houseboat comes last so the trip ends at its most relaxing, and two nights in Munnar give you a full day in the hills. Honeymooners can add a flower-bed decoration and a candlelit dinner on board; families get a boat that stays private for the whole group.
