MOUNTAINS TO BEACHES: MUNNAR, KUMARAKOM AND VARKALA

MOUNTAINS TO BEACHES: MUNNAR - KUMARAKOM - VARKALA!

Dates: Jan 22nd - 29th

SNEAK PEAK

Mountains, beaches and Kerala backwaters all in one trip! Welcome to the most unique Kerala itinerary.

First, we make it to the mystical hill station of Munnar where we are going to sink into the greenery, the floating clouds and the sight of the tea plantations. A little adventure with a hike and a lot of fun with new friends are a promise.

From there we head to Kumarakom. It wouldn’t be a trip to God’s Own Country without visiting the backwaters, would it? So, come as we take you on a houseboat tour to a scenic sunset kayaking experience. Add to this a visit to a waterfall and we know you’ll be squealing as well!

Lastly, we are headed to a beach destination that has on multiple occasions been voted as Asia’s best beach cliff. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Varkala! Blue waves to pink sunsets, tropical meals and soft sands, breezy palm trees to a laidback beach town vibe, this is a place that you just won’t get enough of.

Throw on your shoes and trek to the Top Station – the erstwhile highest railway station of the region which today offers quite the panoramic view from the top.

Experience the backwaters in the most authentic way – a day trip on a houseboat where the culture of Kerala, the views and the backdrop all come together to make quite the pretty picture.

Jan 27th, Friday: They say travel opens us up to new experiences, well, it’s time to try surfing! Jump into the day with a beginner’s surf lesson.

Later, we shall drive to Edava Beach where a magical sunset shall be etched onto our memories forever. O/N Varkala

Jan 28th, Saturday: Before you head back home, we want you to sink into the vacation mode fully!
