About the tour

The state of Kerala has always been the perfect destination for a getaway vacation without going abroad. Escape from your tedious life and enjoy the fresh air of Munnar as we take you to 1.600 km above sea level and stroll along the field where Neelakurinji/Strobilanthes flowers bloom every 12 years and turn the hill blue. As the journey continues, we ride down the road and reach Thekkady, where hundred-year-old dams continue to provide hydroelectricity and irrigation to local farmers. We enjoy the tranquilizing backwaters of Alleppey, cruise through the Narrow Canal, and maybe even hop on the Shikara Ride before moving to Kochi, a melting pot with Portuguese-built structures and the Chinese Fishing Net.
