3 Nights / 4 Days · Private Car · Tea Gardens & Wildlife
Escape the dry heat of Ahmedabad and immerse yourself in the cool, misty landscapes of Munnar. With direct flights and convenient train connections from Ahmedabad to Cochin, your journey to Kerala's most beloved hill station is easier than ever. Our 3‑night, 4‑day itinerary is crafted to give you a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and authentic local experiences – all with the comfort of a private vehicle and handpicked accommodations.
Your Munnar adventure begins the moment you land at Cochin International Airport or arrive at Ernakulam railway station. Our friendly representative will greet you and help you settle into a private air‑conditioned car. The 4‑hour drive to Munnar is a visual treat – winding roads, misty hills, and two spectacular waterfalls: Cheeyappara and Valara. We’ll also stop at a spice plantation where you can smell cardamom, pepper, and vanilla growing right beside the road. By late afternoon, you’ll check into your hotel in Munnar. The rest of the day is free to unwind with a cup of the famous Munnar tea as the sun sets over the hills.
Overnight in Munnar (included).
After a hearty breakfast, we set out to explore Munnar’s highlights. First stop: Eravikulam National Park (closed Feb–March for breeding season), home to the endangered Nilgiri tahr. The rolling grasslands and panoramic views are unforgettable. Next, we visit the scenic Mattupetty Dam – you can enjoy an optional speed boat ride or just soak in the view. Nearby, Echo Point and Kundala Lake offer postcard‑perfect backdrops. If time permits, we’ll also cover the Tea Museum (closed on Mondays) to learn about Munnar’s tea legacy, and the Blossom Park for a leisurely stroll. Your guide will suggest the best local lunch spot (at your own expense).
Overnight in Munnar.
Today you have a choice. For those wanting to see more of Kerala, we offer an optional excursion to Thekkady (approx. 3 hours one way). There you can enjoy a boat cruise on Periyar Lake, spot wildlife, and visit spice plantations. Alternatively, stay in Munnar and explore at your own pace – visit the Rose Garden, go for a nature walk, or simply relax at your resort. In the evening, you might enjoy a traditional Kerala cooking demonstration or a massage at your hotel (charges apply). Your driver will be at your service, so you decide how to spend the day.
Overnight in Munnar.
After breakfast, we check out and begin the scenic drive back to Cochin. En route, we stop for a brief tour of Fort Kochi – see the iconic Chinese fishing nets, the Dutch Palace, and the historic Jew Town. If your flight or train is in the evening, you’ll have time to shop for souvenirs at the spice market or relax at a waterfront café. We then transfer you to Cochin airport or railway station for your journey back to Ahmedabad, filled with memories of misty hills and warm Kerala hospitality.
Tour ends with a drop at Cochin airport/railway station.

“As a couple, we wanted a romantic getaway. The optional Thekkady day was the highlight – we saw elephants and had a spice plantation tour. Everything was well organised. Thank you!”
“I travelled solo and the team made sure I felt safe and well taken care of. The driver even suggested a short trek that wasn’t on the itinerary. Will definitely book again.”
