For guests who'd rather sleep in a resort than on a houseboat: two nights in Munnar, one in Thekkady and two at a lake resort in Kumarakom.
Your driver meets you at Kochi airport or Ernakulam railway station. The road climbs from the plains into the Western Ghats, with stops at Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls and your first view of the tea estates. Check in and spend the evening at leisure.
Morning at Eravikulam National Park to see the Nilgiri tahr on the grassy slopes of Anamudi, South India's highest peak. After lunch visit the Tea Museum, then drive along Mattupetty Dam, Kundala Lake and Echo Point. Evening free for the town's spice and tea shops.
Drive south through cardamom hills to Thekkady. In the afternoon, walk through a spice plantation to see pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and vanilla growing. In the evening, watch a Kalaripayattu martial arts show in Kumily.
Early boat ride on Periyar Lake, then drive to your Kumarakom lake resort. Evening by the water.
Board a houseboat at 11 AM for a day on Vembanad Lake with Kerala lunch on board. Back at the resort by 5 PM.
Early walk in the bird sanctuary, then drive to Kochi for your departure.

Kumarakom is quieter, with resorts right on Vembanad Lake. It suits guests who want a pool, a spa and a lake view rather than a night on a boat.
