Munnar & Thekkady Hill CountryA hills-only Kerala trip — tea-estate viewpoints and cool air in Munnar, followed by forest walks and a boat ride at Thekkady's Periyar reserve, with no city or beach time.
For travellers who specifically want Kerala's green, cool hill country rather than a full-state circuit, this keeps the whole trip in that register.
Drive up into Munnar's tea country, climbing steadily through the Western Ghats. Afternoon at leisure among the rolling estates, with cooler evening temperatures than the coast.
A visit to a working tea estate and factory to see processing up close, followed by time at Mattupetty Dam or, season permitting, a short walk toward Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri tahr.
A further day among Munnar's viewpoints — Top Station for panoramic valley views, and time at leisure to simply enjoy the cool hill air and tea-garden scenery.
Drive from Munnar to Thekkady (approx. 3.5–4 hours).
A boat cruise on Periyar Lake in search of wildlife along the water's edge (elephant, sambar deer and, with luck, gaur), plus the option of a guided forest walk with local tribal trackers.
Morning at leisure in Thekkady before a private transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
Well-located hotels in each city, twin-sharing with breakfast included; a 5-star or heritage-property upgrade is available on request.
Private air-conditioned vehicle and driver for the full itinerary, plus any internal flights specifically listed in the day-by-day plan; airport transfers included.
Daily breakfast included. Lunches and dinners are at your own choice so you can explore local restaurants, with recommendations from your guide — let us know if you'd prefer these pre-arranged instead.
