Munnar: Where Tea Leaves and Chill Meet Picture this: lush green hills, cool breeze, and the aroma of freshly brewed tea. Welcome to Munnar, the tea paradise of God’s Own Country.

Get ready for a boat ride in Periyar Lake where you might spot a laid-back elephant or two, giving you a friendly wave with their trunks.

Alleppey: Float Your Cares Away Time to swap hills for canals! Alleppey, the Venice of the East, welcomes you with open arms (and lots of water). Glide through the backwaters on a traditional houseboat, and let the gentle lull of the waves sing you a sweet lullaby.
Fun fact: Alleppey is famous for its snake boat races. No, it’s not a race with actual snakes; it’s a boat race that’s as thrilling as a snake’s hiss!
