A high-quality couples adventure through the highlights of Kerala that includes excellent accommodation throughout. When you aren’t cruising slowly through the tropical backwaters, you will be exploring verdant green tea plantations, searching for wildlife in the jungles of Periyar, learning about the spice trade in Fort Kochi, or watching the sunset from the gorgeous Marari Beach.
Your journey begins in Cochin at the iconic Brunton Boatyard. Located right on the harbor-front, you are within easy walking distance of all the main sights of historic Fort Kochi. You will also take in a traditional Kathakali dance performance. Leaving Cochin behind, head for Neriamangalam on the banks of the Periyar River staying at Windermere Riverhouse. The property invites you to slow down and enjoy the gentle splash of water and the sounds of birdsong. Optional activities here include kayaking, nature walks, and visits to the local village.
Next, explore the scenic valleys and rolling tea gardens of Munnar, from the superb Windermere Estate. Immerse yourself in the intricacies of Britain’s favorite brew with a guided walk through a working tea plantation and a visit to the Tea Museum. Wending your way out of the tea country, you will head to Thekaddy, gateway to the Periyar National Park, and a big spice-growing region. Search for wildlife in the jungles of Periyar on an early morning walking safari and learn about the many spices that grow in abundance here. No trip to Kerala is complete without exploring the languid backwaters. Spend an afternoon and night onboard your own private converted rice barge, sampling superb home-cooked dishes and watching the world slowly go by. The last stop on your Keralan adventure is Marari Beach Resort. Reflect on your memorable journey through Kerala from a hammock under the palm trees, a lounger by the pool, or a quiet spot on the expansive beach.
