Discover the soul of South India in Kerala — where emerald hills, golden shores, and centuries of history come together. Your journey begins in Kochi’s spice-scented streets, then winds through Munnar’s misty tea plantations and into the tranquil backwaters aboard a private houseboat.
Finally, surrender to barefoot luxury in the Maldives. On Baros Island, white sands and turquoise waters await — the perfect ending to a journey where culture meets pure escape.
Begin Your Journey
Your journey starts with a flight to Cochin (Kochi). We’ll arrange the most efficient routing for your travel, ensuring a smooth start to your Indian adventure.
Welcome to Historic Cochin
Land in Cochin and head straight to your hotel, where you’ll spend two nights in this historic port city. Once a hub of the spice trade, Kochi blends Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial architecture with local flavor. The harbor’s famous Chinese fishing nets still dip into waters that have seen centuries of sailors and merchants come and go.
Discover Fort Kochi's Treasures
Begin your guided exploration at St. Francis Church, India’s oldest European church, before wandering to the waterfront to see the iconic Chinese fishing nets in action. Your afternoon unfolds at the 16th-century Mattancherry Palace, gifted by the Portuguese to Kochi’s Raja, followed by a visit to the historic Paradesi Synagogue. Conclude your day with a sunset harbor cruise, watching the golden light play across Kochi’s waters.
Journey to Munnar Tea County
Wind your way through the Western Ghats as you ascend to Munnar, where misty mountains cradle some of the world’s highest tea estates. Your scenic drive reveals an ever-changing canvas of sandalwood forests and emerald tea plantations, climbing to over 1,500 meters above sea level.
Experience Munnar's Heritage & Nature
Discover Munnar’s colonial charm at the century-old Christ Church with its stunning stained glass, then explore the Tea Museum and historic Munnar Supply Association – a beloved town fixture for over 100 years. As evening approaches, immerse yourself in the bustling town market, or choose to explore Munnar’s lush surroundings on one of our carefully selected walking trails.
Embark on your backwater's adventure
Journey west to Alleppey, gateway to Kerala’s famed backwaters, where your private houseboat awaits. Your floating home for the next two nights combines authentic Kerala design with modern comfort, staffed by an expert crew including your personal chef. As you glide through tranquil waterways, watch village life unfold while your onboard team prepares fresh, local delicacies.
Life in the Backwaters
Drift through Kerala’s network of serene waterways today, where coconut palms line the shores and village life plays out along the banks. Watch fishermen cast their nets, children swim, and locals go about their daily routines from the comfort of your floating home.
Return to Kochi
Disembark your houseboat this morning as you journey back to Kochi. After settling into your hotel, enjoy a free afternoon to revisit favorite spots or discover new corners of this historic port city at your own pace.
Paradise Awaits in the Maldives
Begin your transition from Kerala’s cultural richness to Maldivian luxury today. After a private transfer to Kochi Airport, catch your flight to Male. Upon arrival, a swift speedboat journey delivers you to Baros Maldives, your exclusive island home for the next 6 nights of barefoot elegance.
