Overview
A 5-Night, 6-Day Kerala Tour covering Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, Trivandrum, and Kovalam is the ultimate “All of Kerala” whirlwind itinerary. It is masterfully structured to take you from the misty hills to the wild jungles, through the serene backwaters, and finally down to the golden beaches of the south.
