There are lots of Spice gardens on the way to Munnar. In the evening, we checked into the hotel "Misty Mountain". It has awesome view for Valley View Room. We have amazing Tea Garden View from our room. It's really looks like velvet of Green Land.

Day 3: 

By the way on day 2 we experienced rain in Munnar. It was really mesmerizing in the rain, and it felt like heaven on earth. So, today we traveled to Mattupetty Dam and lake. You can almost touch the cloud from there. In the lake you can experience boating and echo of your voice too. It was a relaxing day and spent most of the time soothing our eyes looking all the beauty before us. Evening spent attending Bonfire at the hotel.

Day 4: 

Today we have started in the morning to reach our next destination Alleppey. Distance from Munnar to Alleppey is around 175 kms and takes around 5 hours to reach there. On the way we had lunch with coconut oil made food. After reaching at Alleppey we checked into the Hotel and after few moments went for backwater boating. In Alleppey you can stay for a day only for backwater. We hired a small motorboat; it took around 3 hours to and from go through the backwater visit. It was so splendid. We Visited the Vembanand Lake, and it was like boating in the SEA.  So overall it was exciting journey throughout the day.

Day 5:  

Now this is time to leave Alleppey and heads towards our final destination Kovalam in our itinerary.  It's around 160 kms from Alleppey to reach Kovalam and takes around 4 hours by car. We stayed at Hotel Samudra which is government hotel and situated just beside the Arabian Sea. We had great leisure time there in Kovalam. In the evening, we went out to have fresh breath at the sea and visited the Watchtower. Though we missed Poovar due to some blockings out there, but it was great time at Kovalam. There were so much foreign tourists and lots of sea food available at the sea beach. We enjoyed spectacular sunset from Kovalam Beach also the beach is so clean I have ever seen.

Chhattisgarh Tour Plan

Chhattisgarh Travel Guide: A 9-Day Itinerary ✈️ Based on my visit to Chhattisgarh. Written by Debarun Sana A note on Bastar and Dantewada This itinerary spends significant time in the Bastar region, which has a real, decades-long history with the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency — the districts of Bastar, Dantewada, Sukma, Bijapur, Kanker, Kondagaon, and Narayanpur have all been affected at various points, including violent incidents as recent as 2023. That said, the situation has genuinely shifted: as of March 31, 2026, Dantewada was officially declared free of active Maoist presence, part of a broader state and central government push to eliminate the insurgency from the region entirely, alongside real tourism investment (new infrastructure, the Bastar Olympics, promotion of sites like the Maa Danteshwari Temple). This is a genuinely positive, well-documented shift — but it's also a very recent development as of this writing, and some local voices still urge cau...

Georgia Travel Guide

Georgia Travel Guide: What to Know Before You Go 📚 This guide is based on thorough research from official tourism and government sources rather than a personal visit. Written by Debarun Sana. Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and it's easy to see why more travelers are adding it to their list: ancient churches, dramatic mountain scenery, an 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition, and a reputation for hospitality that's hard to match. This guide covers the best time to visit, what to expect from the culture and food, entry requirements, and a 7-day itinerary to help you plan a first trip. When Is the Best Time to Visit Georgia? The right time to go depends on what you want out of the trip. Spring (May–June) and Autumn (September–October): These are generally considered the best months to visit. The weather is mild and comfortable for city exploration and lower-altitude hiking. Spring brings lush, green landscapes...
