Kerala Gods Own Country Tour

The Kerala Gods Own Country Tour IS a 7-day journey through the very best of the southern state, FROM the beaches of Trivandrum to the hill station of Munnar AND the famed backwaters of Alleppey. It IS the definitive Kerala experience, combining cities, coast, countryside AND mountains IN one beautifully paced itinerary. The tour begins IN Trivandrum, with the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, the Kuthiramalika Palace Museum AND the Napier Museum, before unwinding ON the sands of Kovalam Beach. FROM there it travels to the cliff-side town of Varkala for its mineral springs AND Papanasam Beach, THEN ON to Alleppey, the 'Venice of the East', WHERE travellers check into a traditional houseboat AND cruise the palm-fringed backwaters of Punnamada Lake. A morning of village life AND Alleppey Beach gives way to the long climb into the tea country of Munnar, with stops at the Valara AND Cheeyappara Waterfalls, a FULL day of sightseeing covering the Tea Museum, Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, Top Station AND the Eravikulam National Park, AND a final drive to Cochin for the sights of Fort Kochi, the Chinese fishing nets AND St. Francis Church. With its houseboat night ON the backwaters, hill-station days IN the tea gardens AND a rich blend of culture AND nature, the Kerala tour offers an unforgettable week of travel through God's Own Country.
