Welcome to 'God's Own Country'! Upon arrival, your pre-booked private driver will greet you and transfer you to your hotel in the charming Fort Kochi area.

Settle into your hotel, a property that reflects the rich history of Fort Kochi. Take some time to relax and acclimatize.

Take a leisurely walk along the coast to see the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets. The area comes alive at sunset, offering beautiful photo opportunities and a gentle introduction to local life.

Enjoy a relaxed dinner featuring fresh seafood. Keralan cuisine is famous for its delicate use of spices and coconut. Try the 'Meen Pollichathu' (fish baked in a banana leaf).

After a leisurely breakfast, take a short auto-rickshaw or car ride to Mattancherry. Visit the Dutch Palace (Mattancherry Palace) for its stunning murals and the historic Paradesi Synagogue in Jew Town.

Enjoy lunch at one of the many art cafes in Fort Kochi. These offer a mix of local and continental food in a relaxed, creative atmosphere.

Spend the afternoon at your own pace. You could relax by the hotel pool, explore more of Fort Kochi's quiet lanes, or indulge in a relaxing massage at your hotel's spa.

Witness a traditional Kathakali performance, a classical Indian dance-drama. Arrive early to watch the artists meticulously apply their intricate makeup, which is a fascinating ritual in itself.

After breakfast, embark on a picturesque drive to Munnar. The journey takes you from the coast to the rolling hills of the Western Ghats, with stunning views of waterfalls and spice plantations en route.

Arrive in Munnar and check into your resort, ideally one that offers panoramic views of the tea gardens. The fresh, cool mountain air is instantly rejuvenating.

Spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing at your resort. Read a book on your balcony, take a dip in the pool, or simply soak in the serene views of the surrounding tea plantations.

Enjoy dinner at your resort's restaurant. Most high-end resorts in Munnar offer excellent dining with a focus on local ingredients, all accompanied by breathtaking nighttime views of the hills.

After breakfast, visit a tea plantation to see how tea is grown and processed. A visit to the Tata Tea Museum (or a local estate like Lockhart) provides fascinating insights into the history and production of tea in the region.

Have a simple, authentic lunch in Munnar town to experience local flavors. There are many small restaurants serving delicious South Indian thalis.

Return to your resort for a pre-booked Ayurvedic spa treatment. This is a cornerstone of your relaxing Keralan journey. Choose a therapy like 'Abhyanga' (a full-body warm oil massage) for deep relaxation.

Enjoy the post-spa bliss. Watch the mist roll over the tea gardens from your balcony as the sun sets. This is a perfect time for quiet reflection or meditation.

Enjoy a final mountain breakfast before descending from the hills to the lush backwaters of Kumarakom. The landscape will transform from tea gardens to paddy fields and coconut groves.

Arrive in Kumarakom, located on the banks of the vast Vembanad Lake. Check into a luxury resort that specializes in wellness and offers direct access to the backwaters.

In the late afternoon, embark on a serene sunset cruise. Glide through the calm waters of Vembanad Lake on a traditional boat, watching the sky change colors and observing local life along the banks.

Dine at your resort's specialty restaurant, often located by the lakeside. Enjoy local delicacies like 'Karimeen Pollichathu' (pearl spot fish) while listening to the gentle lapping of the water.

Start your day with a guided yoga or meditation session. Many resorts offer complimentary classes in serene outdoor settings, allowing you to connect with nature and find your inner calm.

After a healthy breakfast, take a short, gentle walk through the nearby Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary. It's a peaceful haven for bird lovers, home to many local and migratory species.

Dedicate the afternoon to a signature Ayurvedic therapy. Consider 'Shirodhara', a treatment where a continuous stream of warm, medicated oil is poured onto the forehead, known for its profound calming effect on the nervous system.

For dinner, arrange to have a traditional 'Sadya' meal. This is a vegetarian feast served on a banana leaf with a variety of dishes, offering a comprehensive taste of Keralan cuisine.

After a final backwater breakfast, take a short and easy drive to Marari Beach, a clean and quiet beach known for its fishing villages and tranquil atmosphere.

Check into your beachside resort. These properties are designed for relaxation, often with private villas, hammocks, and direct beach access.

Spend the afternoon doing absolutely nothing. Lounge by the pool, read in a hammock under a coconut tree, or take a long walk along the quiet, sandy shore. Listen to the sound of the waves and let go of any remaining stress.

Enjoy a special farewell dinner at your resort. Many offer beachside dining experiences, allowing you to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and delicious coastal cuisine one last time.

Enjoy a final, leisurely Keralan breakfast. Take your time and soak in the last moments of tranquility before you begin your journey home.
