Chapter Three — Activities & Sightseeing

The Real Stops Along the Way

2 of your 4days — the full day-by-day plan follows below.

A curved mountain road cutting through a lush green hillside in the Western Ghats

Day 2 · Kochi → Munnar

Kochi to Munnar — Into the Western Ghats

The drive up to Munnar takes about four hours and climbs the whole way. Rubber gives way to cardamom, then to tea. Stop at Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls when the monsoon has been kind. By the time you arrive the air is fifteen degrees cooler than Kochi.

Day 3 · Munnar → Alleppey

Munnar to Alleppey — Hills Down to the Water

You lose four thousand feet in four hours. Tea becomes rubber, rubber becomes paddy, and then the road is running beside water on both sides. Your houseboat is waiting at Alleppey. Lunch is served once you are out on the lake.

Kochi

Arrival in Kochi — Fort Kochi & the Spice Quarter

Your driver meets you at Cochin airport. The road runs out to Fort Kochi, where four centuries of trade left their mark on one small peninsula. Walk the lanes on foot. St Francis Church, the Dutch Cemetery, the godowns of Jew Town still stacked with ginger and pepper. Evening is free for a Kathakali performance if you want one.
