★★★★★

Fort Kochi's little churches and cafe lanes were an unexpected favourite for us both.

Urvashi C. · travel to Munnar → Alleppey → Kochi · 2025-04

★★★★★

Honeymoon perfectly paced across three very different landscapes. Munnar gave us the cool misty hills, Alleppey gave us the calm backwaters, Kochi gave us the culture and the food at the end. Every transition felt deliberate rather than rushed. Would recommend this exact route to any couple planning their first trip to Kerala.

Fort Kochi evenings by the Chinese fishing nets are memories I will keep forever.

Bhavana J. · travel to Munnar → Alleppey → Kochi · 2025-02

★★★★★

Munnar's tea gardens rolling into mist every single morning made our balcony coffee unforgettable. We barely wanted to leave the hills for Alleppey.

Ankita Tyagi · travel to Munnar → Alleppey → Kochi · 2025-01

★★★★★

Decent itinerary for a honeymoon on a modest budget. The only letdown was one of the Munnar viewpoints being fogged in completely when we arrived.

Rajshree M. · travel to Munnar → Alleppey → Kochi · 2025-01

★★★★★

Backwater houseboat stop was completely dreamlike for us. We just lay on the deck watching village life drift by on either bank for hours.
