6 Days Beautiful Kerala + Backwaters Overnight Cruise: The Full Picture
Six days is the sweet spot for Kerala. You get all the essentials, Kochi, Munnar and the backwaters, plus enough breathing room to actually relax rather than rush from stop to stop. This is a holiday as much as a tour.
Arranged privately from Malaysia, this Kerala package centres on an overnight houseboat cruise on the backwaters, with the heritage of Fort Kochi and the tea hills of Munnar around it. Your own vehicle and driver guide keep the pace gentle and flexible throughout.
