How this version is planned

Private guides and vehicles throughout
Longer stays so you can enjoy the hotels
Priority or skip-the-line entry booked where it exists
Fewer hotel changes and later starts, so mornings are yours

This is a suggested itinerary. Sightseeing order may change with opening days, weather and local conditions; your final plan is in your written quote.

Good to know

Kochi: Stay in Fort Kochi rather than Ernakulam to walk the heritage streets in the evening.
Munnar: Book Eravikulam tickets online and go early; the park shuttle has long queues by mid-morning.
Kumarakom: Pick a lake-facing room; the sunset over Vembanad is the highlight of a stay.
Kovalam: Lifeguards patrol only parts of the beach; swim between their flags.
