Day 1: Arrival at Trivandrum and Sightseeing

Upon arriving in Trivandrum, you’ll be greeted by our representatives who will assist you in starting your journey with a sightseeing tour of the city. Begin with a visit to the Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple, an iconic spiritual site over 260 years old, built by the Travancore Royal Family. This temple features the deity Padmanabha reclining on the sacred serpent, made entirely from more than 10,000 sacred salagramam stones brought from Nepal. Continue to the Puthe Maliga Palace Museum (entry tickets additional), a 200-year-old architectural marvel known for its intricate wooden carvings, Belgian glass, and fascinating royal artefacts including Kathakali figures and royal thrones. Later, head to the tranquil Veli Tourist Village, where the lake meets the Arabian Sea. The highlight here is the floating bridge and a unique floating restaurant offering a variety of dishes. As evening sets in, make your way to Shankumugham Beach to witness a serene sunset and admire the impressive 35-meter-long mermaid sculpture. After a fulfilling day, check in to your hotel for an overnight stay in Trivandrum.

Day 2: Transfer from Trivandrum to Kochi and Kochi Sightseeing

After breakfast, check out and head toward Kochi. Upon arrival, settle into your hotel and prepare for a culturally rich sightseeing tour of the twin towns of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. The first stop is the 400-year-old Jewish Synagogue, home to rare antique artefacts and an atmosphere steeped in history. Then visit the St. Francis Church, one of the oldest European-built churches in India, known for its colonial charm. A short distance away is the Santa Cruz Basilica (entry additional), one of India’s eight Basilicas, admired for its stunning architecture. You’ll also visit Vasco House, said to be the former residence of Vasco da Gama, built in traditional Portuguese style. Later, stroll along the Fort Kochi Beach, famous for the majestic Chinese Fishing Nets that line the coast — a rare sight in India. Return to the hotel for an overnight stay in Kochi.

Day 3: Day Excursion to Athirappilly and Vazhachal Waterfalls

Begin your day with breakfast at the hotel and head out for a scenic drive to Athirappilly Waterfalls, Kerala’s largest and most iconic falls. Set against the backdrop of the lush Sholayar hills, these waterfalls cascade from a height of 80 feet, splitting into multiple streams and creating a magnificent display of natural beauty. During the monsoon season, the full force of the waterfall resembles the grandeur of Niagara Falls. Just a short drive away lies the enchanting Vazhachal Waterfalls, another serene spot nestled in the dense greenery of the region. After soaking in the beauty of both these waterfalls, return to Kochi by evening and enjoy another overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 4: Departure from Kochi

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and prepare for your transfer to Kochi Airport. As your journey concludes, we bid you farewell, hoping you carry back wonderful memories of this vibrant and culturally rich trip through Kerala — truly God’s Own Country.
