Kerala’s hill country is not limited to Munnar.

Travellers can combine the tea-covered landscapes of Munnar, wildlife and spice country around Thekkady, the meadows and adventure attractions of Vagamon, and the fruit-growing mountain villages of Kanthalloor to create a remarkably diverse Kerala holiday.

Each destination has its own identity.

That makes a customised Munnar–Thekkady–Vagamon–Kanthalloor tour package particularly attractive for travellers who prefer nature, mountain scenery, wildlife and adventure over a conventional city holiday.

Anamika Kerala Holidays offers Kerala Tour Packages that can be customised for families, honeymoon couples, friends and private groups.

Start with Munnar – Kerala’s Famous Tea Country

Munnar remains one of Kerala’s most recognised hill destinations.

Tea estates spread across the mountains create the landscape for which the region is famous, while waterfalls, dams, viewpoints and protected natural areas add variety to the holiday.

For travellers starting from Kochi, Anamika also has a dedicated Kochi to Munnar Tour Package with private transport, sightseeing and different accommodation categories. Anamika Kerala Holidays – Kumily, Kerala

Munnar is particularly suitable as the first major hill destination because it connects naturally with both Kanthalloor and Thekkady.

Munnar to Kanthalloor – Add a Different High-Range Experience

Travellers staying in Munnar can extend their holiday towards Marayoor and Kanthalloor.

This changes the character of the trip.

Rather than another conventional hill-station sightseeing day, Kanthalloor introduces visitors to cool-climate farms, rural mountain landscapes and smaller high-range communities.

Anamika confirms that Kanthalloor and Marayoor can be combined with Munnar either as part of a sightseeing trip or a longer multi-day itinerary. Anamika Kerala Holidays – Kumily, Kerala

Explore the dedicated Kanthalloor–Marayoor Travel Guide when planning this extension.

Munnar to Thekkady – From Tea Gardens to Spice Country

Another natural progression is travelling from Munnar to Thekkady.

Thekkady changes the experience from tea-country sightseeing to wildlife, spices and culture.

Depending on availability and traveller interests, a Thekkady stay can incorporate Periyar boating, spice plantation visits, elephant experiences, jeep safari, Kathakali and Kalaripayattu. Anamika’s current packages incorporate several of these options, subject to local availability and operating conditions. Anamika Kerala Holidays – Kumily, Kerala

Travellers can explore the dedicated Thekkady Tour Packages for different itinerary combinations.

Why Thekkady Deserves an Overnight Stay

Trying to treat Thekkady as a quick stop between two hill stations can mean missing much of its appeal.

An overnight stay gives travellers more flexibility for boating, plantation visits, cultural programmes or other selected experiences.

Thekkady also works as a convenient connecting destination between Munnar and Vagamon.

That makes the route:

Munnar → Thekkady → Vagamon

particularly useful for a multi-day Kerala hill holiday.

Thekkady to Vagamon – Wildlife to Adventure

After Thekkady, continue towards Vagamon.

Vagamon is known for green hills, meadows, pine forests and adventure experiences.

Anamika’s existing Thekkady–Vagamon itinerary includes attractions and optional activities such as Vagamon Adventure Park, glass bridge, paragliding, ATV experiences, pine forest and Thangal Para, with activities subject to operating conditions. Anamika Kerala Holidays – Kumily, Kerala

This makes Vagamon particularly attractive to couples, families and groups who want more than conventional sightseeing.

A Ready-Made Munnar–Thekkady–Vagamon Route

Travellers who don’t need Kanthalloor can choose the existing Kochi–Munnar–Thekkady–Vagamon Tour Package.

The current itinerary is 5 days / 4 nights and combines Kochi, Munnar’s tea country, Thekkady’s wildlife and spice experiences, and Vagamon’s adventure attractions. Anamika Kerala Holidays – Kumily, Kerala

It is already structured for couples, families, friends and private groups.

Want More? Add Kanthalloor to the Route

For travellers with additional time, Kanthalloor can create a more distinctive itinerary.

For example:

Kochi → Munnar → Kanthalloor → Marayoor → Thekkady → Vagamon → Kochi

This route gives travellers:

Munnar – tea plantations and mountain scenery.

Kanthalloor – fruit farms and high-range villages.

Marayoor – sandalwood country and distinctive rural landscapes.

Thekkady – wildlife, boating, spices and culture.

Vagamon – meadows, pine forests and adventure.

Rather than repeating the same type of sightseeing every day, each destination adds something different.

Kerala Jeep Safari Experiences

Adventure can also become a theme connecting several destinations.

Selected jeep safari experiences may be available around Kanthalloor, Thekkady and other high-range areas.

These can add off-road routes, viewpoints and mountain landscapes to a Kerala tour.

However, safari routes and access can change because of weather, permissions and local operating conditions, so travellers should confirm availability when booking rather than treating a specific safari as guaranteed. Anamika Kerala Holidays – Kumily, Kerala

Kerala Tour Package for Families

Families can customise this route with fewer hotel changes and more relaxed sightseeing.

For example:

Day 1 – Kochi to Munnar
Day 2 – Munnar sightseeing
Day 3 – Kanthalloor & Marayoor
Day 4 – Munnar to Thekkady
Day 5 – Thekkady sightseeing
Day 6 – Thekkady to Vagamon
Day 7 – Vagamon to Kochi

The itinerary can be shortened or expanded depending on the age of travellers and arrival/departure schedule.

Kerala Honeymoon Package

Couples can use the same route differently.

Instead of maximising the number of sightseeing stops, a honeymoon itinerary can prioritise scenic resorts, relaxed mornings, private transportation, viewpoints and selected experiences.

Munnar and Vagamon provide mountain scenery, while Thekkady introduces nature and spice-country experiences.

Kanthalloor can add a quieter high-range element to the journey.

Add Varkala & Alleppey for a Complete Kerala Holiday

Travellers with seven days or more can go beyond the hills.

Adding Varkala and Alleppey transforms the itinerary into a broader Kerala holiday covering hills, wildlife, beaches and backwaters.

Anamika currently has a 7-Day Kochi–Munnar–Thekkady–Vagamon–Varkala–Alleppey Tour Package that combines these experiences and finishes with the Alleppey backwaters. Anamika Kerala Holidays – Kumily, Kerala

That page is particularly useful for travellers looking for a more complete Kerala itinerary.

Which Kerala Package Should You Choose?

Choose Munnar + Kanthalloor + Marayoor if your priority is mountain scenery, farms and high-range road trips.

Choose Munnar + Thekkady for a classic combination of tea country, wildlife and spice plantations.

Choose Thekkady + Vagamon for wildlife and adventure.

Choose Munnar + Thekkady + Vagamon for a balanced short Kerala hill holiday.
