Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before booking this package.
What is the best time to book the Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey tour?
September to March is the most pleasant window, with cool weather in Munnar and calm backwaters in Alleppey. Monsoon (June–August) is lush and green but rain can disrupt sightseeing.
Is the houseboat private or shared?
You get a fully private houseboat with your own bedrooms, living area and dedicated crew including a cook. Meals are freshly prepared on board.
Are wildlife sightings guaranteed at Periyar?
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed as animals roam freely, but the Periyar boat ride commonly offers glimpses of elephants, sambar deer, wild boar and a variety of birds.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Yes. We can adjust the number of nights per city, add Cochin or Kovalam, upgrade hotels, or start from a different city as per your preference.
