Day 1
Cochin-Arrival
When you land at Cochin Airport, we’ll pick you up and take you to the hotel you’ve booked. Cochin, usually referred to as Kochi, is Kerala’s commercial centre and conjures up beautiful pictures of Chinese fishing nets.
People come here to enjoy a simpler way of life away from the concrete world and to calm their mind and body.
Day 2
Cochin
Visit Fort Kochi today. As you go down K. J. Herschel Road, you’ll see Fort Immanuel, which was established in 1503, as well as Dutch Cemetery, which contains the tombs of past colonists. Check out the Mattancherry or Dutch palaces. This palace was extensively renovated by the Dutch in the 1660s, earning the name “Dutch Palace.”
Later, proceed to St. Francis Cathedral, one of India’s oldest European cathedrals. Visit Kochi’s Chinese Fishing Nets, which are still a popular destination. These nets were set up in Kochi by Chinese visitors who came to the city in the fourteenth century.
Visit the Jewish Synagogue after lunch. It is the oldest synagogue in India and it has a number of antiques on show, including 10th-century copper plates, gold crowns, Belgian glass chandeliers, and law scrolls. You will be escorted to see a fascinating performance of Kerala’s traditional Kathakali dance in the evening.
Day 3
Cochin-Munnar
After breakfast, drive to Munnar, a well-known hill resort situated more than 1500 metres above sea level. The Kashmir of South India is another name for it.
As we travel through the tea and spice farms on the 120-km trip to Munnar, you’ll be treated to some of the most beautiful scenic vistas of the lush green surroundings.
When you get to Munnar, check into your accommodation and take the rest of the day to yourself.

Munnar
Visit tea plantations in addition to other nearby sites including Signal Point View Point, Idly Hill View Point, and Lockhart Gap View Point after savouring a superb breakfast at the hotel. You are treated to the most breathtaking panoramic views of Munnar’s natural surroundings at these locations.

Our day ends with a visit to a spice plantation, where the aroma and flavour of cloves, nutmeg, pepper, cinnamon, or cardamom, as well as occasionally a fragrance that mixes the aromas of two or more spices, fill the air.
Day 7
