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.
  • Thekkady: Book the first Periyar boat of the morning; animal sightings are best early and tickets are limited.
  • Alleppey: Choose a premium or deluxe houseboat with an air-conditioned bedroom; AC usually runs only at night.
