It’s time to trade the coast for the rolling hills of Munnar, where tea estates stretch as far as the eye can see.

Breathe in the crisp mountain air and savour a quiet evening among the misty hills.

Today, we embark on a Jungle Safari in Periyar National Park, where elephants roam freely, and birdsong fills the air.

The journey continues as we head toward the Arabian Sea and the pristine beaches of Marari. Check into your beachfront resort, where the golden sands and swaying palms invite you to simply be. Spend the evening with your toes in the sand, watching the sun melt into the horizon.

Day 8 | February 10 | Coastal Bliss in Marari

Start the day with a guided nature walk, led by a local expert who will introduce us to Kerala’s coastal ecosystems. The rest of the day is yours—float in the sea, read under a palm tree, or indulge in an Ayurvedic spa treatment. There’s no rush here, just space to breathe and be.

Day 9 | February 11 | Marari to Kumarakom (1-hour drive)

This morning, we move toward Kumarakom, Kerala’s backwater paradise. After checking into a tranquil lakeside resort, we ease into the slower rhythm of life here. Spend the evening gazing at the still waters, enjoying the soothing call of nature.

Day 10 | February 12 | Houseboat Day Cruise

Today, we step aboard a traditional houseboat for a slow, meandering cruise through the famed Kerala backwaters. Drift past villages, coconut groves, and fishermen casting their nets, all while enjoying a freshly prepared Keralan meal on deck. This is the essence of Kerala—simple, soulful, and deeply peaceful.

Day 11 | February 13 | Rest & Reflection in Kumarakom

A free day to indulge in the beauty of Kumarakom. Perhaps you’ll book an Ayurvedic treatment, explore the village, or simply soak in the serenity of the backwaters. We gather for a farewell lunch, reminiscing over the friendships and memories we’ve created.
