Want more than sightseeing from your Kerala holiday? This 11 day Kerala adventure tour takes you from the tea hills of Munnar to the backwaters of Alleppey, the beaches of Kovalam and the southern tip of India at Kanyakumari, with a stop at Jatayu Earth's Center along the way.
Overview of Kerala Journey with Jatayu Adventure
Eleven days that cover Kerala from top to bottom, with an adventure stop most Kerala tours miss. After a first night in Cochin, you drive up to the tea estates of Munnar for two nights, then on to Periyar for spice plantations and an evening Kalaripayattu martial arts show.
The middle of the trip slows down on the water: a night by Vembanad Lake in Kumarakom, then a night on a houseboat in Alleppey with all meals on board. From there you head south via Trivandrum to the beach at Kovalam and on to Kanyakumari, where three seas meet.
On the way back north you visit Jatayu Earth's Center, home to one of the world's largest bird sculptures on a rocky hilltop, before a final night in Kollam and a last afternoon in Cochin. You travel in an air-conditioned sedan with your own driver throughout.
