South India Honeymoon

8 days / 7 nights Price on Request Honeymoon

Overview

A slower-paced South India route built specifically for couples — hill-country privacy in Munnar, a private houseboat night, then beach time to close the trip.

Why This Journey

This sequence — hills, backwaters, beach — is deliberately built around privacy and pace rather than a packed sightseeing list, which is usually what honeymooning couples actually want.

Highlights

  • A private houseboat cruise
  • Hill-country privacy in a Munnar tea-estate stay
  • Beach time to close the trip, with minimal group sightseeing

Day by Day

  • Day 1

    Arrive Munnar

    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.

  • Day 2

    Munnar Sightseeing

    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.

  • Day 3

    Onward to Alappuzha

    Drive from Munnar to Alappuzha (approx. 4.5–5 hours).

  • Day 4

    Alappuzha Sightseeing

    A slower second day on or around the backwaters, either extending the houseboat cruise or transferring to a canal-side resort for canoe trips through the narrower waterways that houseboats can't reach.

  • Day 5

    Onward to Kovalam

    Drive from Alappuzha to Kovalam (approx. 4–4.5 hours).

  • Day 6

    Kovalam Sightseeing

    Free days at Kovalam for swimming, optional Ayurvedic treatments (Kerala's traditional wellness system), or a half-day excursion to nearby Poovar for a quieter backwater-meets-beach setting.

  • Day 7

    Kovalam Sightseeing

    A further free day on Kovalam's beaches, with an optional sunset walk along the lighthouse promenade or additional Ayurvedic treatment sessions for those following a longer course.

  • Day 8

    Departure

    Morning at leisure in Kovalam before a private transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
