Top Kerala Travel Destinations & Sightseeing Guide
From misty tea valleys and roaring jungle waterfalls to peaceful backwaters and golden palm beaches, plan your ideal journey.
Munnar – The Hill Station Paradise
Munnar sightseeing starts with taking a stroll among lush green tea plantations, misty valleys, and cascading waterfalls.
Set at the confluence of three mountain streams—Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni, and Kundala—Munnar was once the summer resort of the British administration. Today, it offers crisp mountain air, Eravikulam National Park (home of the rare Nilgiri Tahr), panoramic views from Top Station, speedboating at Mattupetty Dam, and world-class tea estate retreats.
Alleppey (Alappuzha) – Venice of the East
Explore the beauty of tranquil backwaters at its best aboard a traditional Kerala houseboat.
Cruising through Alleppey's network of canals, lagoons, and emerald paddy fields below sea level is Kerala's most iconic experience. An overnight stay on a traditional Kettuvallam houseboat features private air-conditioned bedrooms, serene waters, and authentic Karimeen Pollichathu (pearl spot fish) freshly prepared by your onboard chef.
