5 Stops in Kerala, from Munnar to Thiruvananthapuram

Rows of tea bushes on the hills of Munnar, Kerala

Start among Munnar’s tea hills, take a boat ride in Thekkady, then trade the hills for Alappuzha’s backwaters and Varkala’s cliffs. This five-stop Kerala route follows a Telugu-language reel by Vijay Holidays and ends in Thiruvananthapuram.

1. Munnar tea gardens

Give the tea gardens a morning of their own. If a plantation or factory visit matters to you, ask your operator which site is on the itinerary and whether the visit is included.

2. Thekkady and Periyar Lake

Set aside time for the Periyar Lake boat ride. Ask who books the ticket and whether the fare is part of your quote.

3. Alappuzha houseboats

Choose between a daytime cruise and an overnight houseboat stay. For an overnight quote, ask for the boat name, cabin type, meals and air-conditioning hours.

4. Varkala and coastal detours

Spend time at Varkala Beach and its cliff. The reel also suggests Jatayu Earth’s Center in Kollam and Aazhimala Shiva Temple farther south. Ask how much driving time those stops add before putting them on the same day.

5. Thiruvananthapuram

Finish with Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and the city zoo. Check temple entry rules, dress requirements and current opening times before heading out.

Ask Vijay Holidays for a Kerala package quote

The reel advertises trips for couples, families and groups of friends, including options for Telugu-speaking travellers. Contact Vijay Holidays on Instagram with your dates, group size and preferred pickup and drop-off points. Ask for the total price, hotel and boat details, included tickets and cancellation terms in writing. Vijay Holidays handles quotes and bookings.
