Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

Kochi → Munnar

Met at Cochin International and straight up into the Western Ghats. The road climbs past the Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls and into cardamom country; by the last hour the tea has taken over the hillsides entirely.

Day 2

Munnar

A full day in the tea country. Eravikulam for the Nilgiri tahr, Mattupetty dam and lake, Echo Point, Kundala, and the Tea Museum where they still roll a batch by hand. Top Station if the cloud lifts.

Day 3

Munnar → Thekkady

Down through the hills into spice country. The afternoon is Periyar's: a walk through a working cardamom and pepper plantation with the grower, and the optional lake boat ride before dusk.

Day 4

Thekkady → Alleppey

To the backwaters and aboard the houseboat around midday. The rest of the afternoon is Vembanad — paddy bunds, village landings, fishermen working the Chinese nets — and dinner cooked on board as the light goes.

Day 5

Alleppey → Kanyakumari

South to the tip of the subcontinent, where three seas meet. The Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Thiruvalluvar statue sit offshore; the sunset from the point is the reason people come.

Day 6

Kanyakumari → Rameswaram

East along the coast to Rameswaram — the Ramanathaswamy temple and its corridors, Agni Theertham, the Pamban bridge and the ghost town at Dhanushkodi — with the drop at Rameswaram, Madurai or Trichy.
