Kochi Calling! You'll land at Cochin Airport, and we'll whisk you off to your comfy hotel in Fort Kochi. After you've settled in, get ready for a treat! We're taking you to see a Kathakali dance show. It's a real eye-opener - colourful costumes, dramatic faces, and storytelling like you've never seen before!

Kochi Explorer Rise and shine! We're off to see the sights of Kochi. First stop, the Dutch Palace - it's not actually Dutch, but it's full of amazing murals. Then we'll pop into the Jewish Synagogue - it's got chandeliers that'll make your jaw drop. We'll round off the morning at St. Francis Church, where the famous explorer Vasco da Gama was once buried. After lunch, we'll check out the famous Chinese fishing nets. They're huge and look like giant spiders on the water! We'll wander through the local markets too - perfect for picking up souvenirs. As the day winds down, hop on board for a sunset cruise. The views of Kochi harbour at dusk are simply stunning!

Munnar Bound Today we're hitting the road to Munnar. It's about a 4-5 hour drive, but don't worry - the scenery is gorgeous. We'll stop at some waterfalls along the way, so keep your camera handy! Once we reach Munnar, we'll visit a tea museum to learn all about the area's famous brew. Then you can stretch your legs with a stroll around the local market.

Munnar Magic Get ready for a day of tea and wildlife! We'll start with a tour of a tea plantation. You'll see how tea is grown and processed, and of course, have a cuppa or two. In the afternoon, we're off to Eravikulam National Park. Keep your eyes peeled for the Nilgiri Tahr - it's a mountain goat that's only found in this part of India. The evening's yours to relax at the hotel.

Spice World in Thekkady We're off to Thekkady today. It's famous for its spices, so of course we'll be visiting a spice plantation. You'll see (and smell!) things like cardamom, pepper, and cinnamon growing. In the evening, get ready for some action - we're watching a Kalaripayattu show. It's an ancient martial art from Kerala, and it's pretty spectacular!

Backwaters Beckon Morning starts with a peaceful boat ride on Periyar Lake. Keep your eyes open for wildlife on the shores! Then we're driving to Alleppey, the gateway to Kerala's famous backwaters. Here's the exciting part - you'll be spending the night on a houseboat! These converted rice barges are like floating hotels. Sit back, relax, and watch village life float by.
