Kochi: 7-Day Private Kerala Tour with Houseboat Stay
About this experience
Connect Kerala’s coastal heritage, hill scenery, spice-growing region and backwaters in one private week. Two nights in Munnar and Thekkady allow a more measured pace than changing accommodation every day. The houseboat night provides a different rhythm at the end, with the exact vessel and meal plan agreed before confirmation.
This itinerary is a starting point for a private holiday quotation. Daily sightseeing can be adjusted before confirmation to reflect arrival times, driving distances and the type of accommodation you prefer. Your quotation should identify the included rooms, meals, guiding days and activities so that each part of the journey is clear.
