5-Day Kochi, Thekkady & Alleppey Tour in Kerala
Begin your journey in Kochi, where the Malabar Coast’s historic port city sets the stage with its colonial-era architecture and bustling harbour. Your air-conditioned vehicle and experienced driver will take you inland to Thekkady on the second day, where you cruise across the Periyar reservoir in a private boat, scanning the dense forest for elephants and bison drinking at the water’s edge. By afternoon, you’re heading to Alleppey, spending two nights on the Laccadive Sea’s edge. Explore the backwaters by canoe or houseboat, watch village life unfold along the canals, and relax on the serene shores. Your final morning brings a scenic drive back to Kochi for drop-off. This tour suits travellers seeking a blend of city culture, wildlife encounters, and tranquil waterways.
