Spend 3 nights moving through Alleppey, Munnar — tea hills, tiger reserves, backwater canals, and coastal beaches — with flights, 5-star hotels, and daily breakfast
Kerala in 3 Nights — What to Expect
Kerala is a narrow coastal state where the landscape changes every two hours of driving. Tea hills give way to tiger reserves; tiger reserves open out onto backwater lagoons; lagoons eventually reach the sea. This 3-night, 4-day itinerary covering Alleppey, Munnar is designed to show you that range without turning the journey into a bus marathon. Are bundled in — just show up at the departure terminal and the rest is handled.
The Route
Alleppey — Alleppey — or Alappuzha — is where the backwaters begin in earnest. A night on a kettuvallam houseboat, drifting past paddy fields and coconut groves under a star-filled sky, is the defining Kerala experience. Highlights include Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple, Alappuzha Beach. Munnar — Munnar sits at 1,600 metres in the Western Ghats, its hillsides blanketed in tea estates managed since the British era. Mist rolls in by late afternoon and temperatures stay cool year-round. Highlights include Tata Tea Museum, Eravikulam national park, Mattupetty Dam.
The Houseboat Night
Alleppey's kettuvallam houseboats are converted rice barges fitted with bedrooms, a cook, and a small deck. You drift slowly through narrow canals lined with banana palms and paddy fields. There is no Wi-Fi on board, which turns out to be the whole point. Your cook prepares Kerala meals from fresh ingredients sourced at the morning market.
Accommodation
Your 5-star hotels across the route: Marari Village Beach Resort by EGH (1 night), Golden Munnar Palace By Hawk Hospitality (2 nights). Each property is selected for location, comfort, and proximity to the day's activities.
Meals
Daily breakfast is included throughout. Kerala's food scene is one of its great underrated pleasures — appam with coconut stew at breakfast, a full sadya on a banana leaf for lunch, and grilled karimeen (pearl spot fish) for dinner are the meals to seek out along the way.
When to Go
Kerala's peak season runs October to March, when the skies clear and the beaches are at their best. The monsoon months (June to September) offer lush green scenery, emptier resorts, and better rates — and most of Kerala's experiences are rain-proof. Speak to the Kangaroo Travels team to find the window that works for your schedule and budget.
