6 Days Kerala Trip Package From Mumbai 2027 | Coastal

A full Munnar day. The morning is Eravikulam National Park — the protected high-altitude grassland where the Nilgiri Tahr is regularly sighted on the open slopes. Entry is by Forest Department regulated vehicle. The afternoon covers Mattupetty Dam approximately 13 kilometres from town and the Kundala tea estate viewpoints along the upper road.
For a Mumbai group arriving from a flat coastal city, the scale of the Western Ghats tea plantation landscape at Munnar — the rows running up and over the ridgelines in every direction — registers as a genuinely different scale of terrain. The mist coming in from the valley in the late afternoon is the specific Munnar close. Overnight at Munnar.

The Munnar to Thekkady drive covers approximately 90 to 105 kilometres through cardamom and spice plantation country, descending from Munnar's elevation through the Devikulam range. The Periyar Lake boat ride inside the Periyar Tiger Reserve runs in the afternoon — a one to two hour circuit on the reservoir where elephant, deer and bison come to the water edge. The reserve covers 777 square kilometres of Western Ghats forest.
Sightings are well documented but never guaranteed. The Thekkady spice market in the evening is a different market experience from the Crawford Market or Matunga that the Mumbai group knows — the raw spice from the plantation belt changes the scale of what spice actually smells like. Overnight at Thekkady.

The drive from Thekkady to Alleppey covers approximately 140 kilometres through the Kottayam rubber belt — around three hours. Houseboat check-in at Alleppey is at noon. The backwater canal is a water experience that the Mumbai group has no equivalent for at home — the Arabian Sea off Marine Drive or Juhu is open, rough and deep.
The Alleppey backwater is narrow, still and lined with paddy fields and village life at water level. The kettuvallam moves through the afternoon on the canal network. Lunch and evening tea are served on board. The houseboat moors for the night. Overnight on the houseboat.

Houseboat checkout is by 9 AM. The drive from Alleppey to Varkala covers approximately 115 kilometres through Kollam — around two to three hours. Varkala is the one beach destination in south Kerala that gives the Mumbai group something architecturally and geologically different from anything Juhu, Versova or Alibaug offers. The laterite cliff at Varkala drops sheer to the beach below — the Geological Survey of India has designated this cliff formation a geological monument.
The cliff path runs along the top of the headland with the Arabian Sea dropping away on one side. The Papanasam natural spring at the cliff base has been associated with the Janardhanaswamy Temple above it for approximately 2,000 years. Overnight at Varkala.

The final morning at Varkala before the return flight from Trivandrum to Mumbai. The cliff at dawn — before the restaurants open and the visitors arrive — is the quietest and most photogenic hour on this kerala trip package from mumbai. The cliff face catches the early light sideways and the layering in the laterite shows.
After the morning the vehicle drives to Trivandrum Airport — approximately 50 kilometres from Varkala, taking around an hour. Travellers with afternoon flights from Trivandrum have time for the Napier Museum complex or the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum city before departure. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops at Trivandrum Airport.
