点评:It was a total 8 nights and 9 days tour, starting from Kochi airport and ended at Kochi. I reached Kochi from Kolkata on early hours of 29th November, 2025 via Bengaluru(Indigo). I reached Kochi on time along with my wife and Son, he has directly came from Delhi and joined with me at Bengaluru airport. The car (Ertiga) was waiting for us. I booked the car from Kochi Taxi 24X7 for the entire trip. The total contract value was 28500/- considering 1200 km. I started directly for Alleppy from the Kochi airport.
Day 1 - Night Stay at Hotel AJ Palace. (5500/- for a suite room, additionally I paid 950/- for early check in; normal check in time is 2 pm)
After reaching hotel we took 2 hours to take bath and all, then headed towards back water boat riding. I booked the boat through Alapppuzha Boat House at 12 pm for 4 hours. The total cost they charged was 3500/- without any meal. We really enjoyed the riding. The boatman was a local person, tried hos best to communicated with us. We took Kerala meal at one river side small eatery, but the quality was good and comfortable. We went to Alleppy beah and stayed there for 1 hour. Then come back to our hotel.
Day-2 - We booked a suite room in the hotel Cilantro by the Sea at Kovalam almost 1 km from the beach. But the beach and the Sun set were clearly visible from the room. We stayed there for 3 nights, We paid 16500/- including breakfast for 3 days. But there is no dining facility at the hotel. We reached Kovalam via Varkala beach, a must see beach for everyone.
Day -3 - We went to Kanyakumari directly from the hotel. It took almost 3 hours to travel. We went to Vivekananda Rock through Government boat, not much que at the ticket counter. It cost me 100/ per person. I do not suggest any advance ticket booking for this ride. This was truly a memorable journey. We decided not to stay over there. We reached Kovalam around 5 pm. We went to the beach and enjoyed quite a lot. This beach has an unique appeal I must say, specially after Sun set. There are plenty of restaurants who are mostly selling fresh sea foods. As we prefer veg dishes, we finally located one pure veg restaurant where the food was really delicious.
Day -4 - We went to Poovar lake to enjoy the boat riding. I previously booked the ticket through PoovarBackwaterCruise, they charged 2950 for 3 persons for 2 hours. It was really a fantastic journey, just like we were riding through the Amazon forest, memorable experience. The boat took us to one floating veg restaurant and we gave the order for the lunch, a little bit costly. I suggest to know the cost before giving order. After giving the order we went to the Golden beach. Here we found the merging of the river with the sea. One of the most beautiful place of Kerala. Finally we finished our lunch. The food quality was really good. We came back to Kovalam around 4 pm and went to visit the famous light house. From the top of the light house it was a panoramic view. In the evening we went to the beach once again to enjoy the evening before leaving Kovalam.
Day - 5 - Day - 5 - We started early from around 6:30 am from Kovalam because it was long stretch to Thekkadi from Kovalam. It took almost 6 hours to reach Thekkadi. The weather was very bad, there was constant raining. We booked the Keys Prima by Lemon Tree Hotel. The hotel was good and was full of guests. We paid 4255/- for Superior King Room including breakfast. We finished our lunch at hotel Saravana, very crowded, but quick service. The food quality was excellent. After that we went for boat riding that we booked online through KTDC, the ticket price was 1350/- for 3 persons. Unfortunately, the boat ride had been cancelled by the authority for bad weather. We went inside through their bus service and spent some beautiful moments inside the Tiger Safari Park. After that we did some shopping. We purchased some of the famous spices and homemade chocolates from the local shops. We finished our dinner at outside.
Day – 6 – We started around 10:30 in the morning for Munnar, the famous hill station of Kerala. It took almost 3 hours to reach. But the entire stretch was marvellous. We booked the hotel Oak Village, 13 kms before the Munnar city, the cost for 2 days was around 13000/- including breakfast.. It is a peaceful place. We stayed there for 2 nights. The hotel was really good and the service was excellent. The quality of food was also good.
Day 7 – We started early in the morning and went to see the Matupetty Dam. We have seen the beautiful tea garden in the valley. It was really one of the best scenic views I have ever seen. We spent few moments on the roadside and took snaps.We also visited one spice garden and purchased some ayurvedic medicines from there. Finally, we reached our destination, full of crowds. We decided to have a boat ride in the lake and really enjoyed. After that we tried to visit another Dam. Due to heavy traffic congestion, we could not reach. While returning we went to Ripple Tea Shop for purchasing some teas and coffees. After that we visited a chocolate factory and purchased some home homemade chocolates. The teste of the chocolates of Thekkadi and Munnar are good. Even the first quality leaf teas have excellent flavor.
Day – 8 – Finally we left the hotel of Munnar and started for Kochi. We booked the hotel near Kochi Airport, CASTELO INN. The hotel is 3 kms from the airport and it is really a nice hotel. We paid 5582/- for one night including breakfast. In the evening, we went near to airport just to spend some time. It was also a nice experience.
Day - 9- We left the hotel 8:30 in the morning for the airport and reached safely and on time. We reached Kolkata on time.
We really enjoyed the tour and all the hotel accommodation were good. I recommend these hotel for your future visit at Kerala.
翻译:这次旅行总共8晚9天,从科钦机场出发,最终返回科钦。我于2025年11月29日凌晨从加尔各答经班加罗尔(靛蓝航空)抵达科钦。我和妻子、儿子准时到达科钦,儿子直接从德里飞来,在班加罗尔机场与我会合。我们预订的车(一辆Ertiga)已经在机场等候了。我通过Kochi Taxi 24X7预订了全程用车,总价为28500卢比,行程1200公里。抵达科钦机场后,我直接前往阿勒皮。
第一天 - 入住AJ Palace酒店。(套房价格为5500卢比,另加950卢比提前入住费;正常入住时间为下午2点。)
抵达酒店后,我们花了两个小时洗澡,然后前往内河乘船游览。我中午12点通过阿拉普扎船屋(Alappuzha Boat House)预订了4小时的船。总费用为3500卢比,不含餐费。我们非常享受这次乘船之旅。船夫是当地人,尽力与我们交流。我们在河边一家小餐馆吃了喀拉拉邦特色餐,食物质量不错,环境也舒适。我们去了阿勒皮海滩(Alleppy Beach),在那里待了一个小时,然后返回酒店。
第二天——我们在科瓦兰(Kovalam)的香菜海滨酒店(Cilantro by the Sea)预订了一间套房,距离海滩大约1公里。从房间里可以清晰地看到海滩和日落。我们在那里住了3晚,费用为16500卢比,包含3天的早餐。但是酒店没有餐厅。我们途经瓦尔卡拉海滩(Varkala Beach)到达科瓦兰,瓦尔卡拉海滩是每个人都应该去的海滩。
第三天——我们从酒店直接前往坎尼亚库马里(Kanyakumari)。车程大约3小时。我们乘坐政府运营的船前往维韦卡南达岩,售票处几乎没人排队。船票每人100卢比。我不建议提前预订船票。这真是一次难忘的旅程。我们决定不在那里过夜。下午5点左右到达科瓦兰。我们去了海滩,玩得很开心。不得不说,这片海滩有一种独特的魅力,尤其是在日落之后。那里有很多餐厅,大多出售新鲜的海鲜。因为我们更喜欢素食,所以最终找到了一家纯素餐厅,食物非常美味。
第四天——我们去了普瓦尔湖乘船游览。我之前通过PoovarBackwaterCruise预订了船票,他们收费2950卢比,三人两小时。这真是一次奇妙的旅程,就像在亚马逊雨林中穿行,令人难忘。船把我们带到一家水上素食餐厅,我们点了午餐,价格有点贵。我建议点餐前先了解一下价格。点完餐后,我们去了黄金海滩。在那里,我们看到了河流与大海交汇的壮丽景色,这是喀拉拉邦最美的地方之一。午餐后,我们享用了美食,味道非常棒。下午四点左右,我们回到科瓦兰,参观了著名的灯塔。从灯塔顶端可以俯瞰全景。傍晚,我们再次来到海滩,享受科瓦兰的迷人夜景。
第五天——我们早上六点半左右就从科瓦兰出发,因为从科瓦兰到特卡迪路途遥远。我们花了将近六个小时才到达特卡迪。天气非常糟糕,一直下着雨。我们预订了柠檬树酒店旗下的Keys Prima酒店。酒店不错,但客满。我们预订了高级特大床房,包含早餐,价格为4255卢比。午餐我们在萨拉瓦纳酒店享用,酒店非常拥挤,但服务快捷。食物品质极佳。之后我们去乘船游览,船票是通过喀拉拉邦旅游发展公司 (KTDC) 在线预订的,三人票价为 1350 卢比。可惜的是,由于天气恶劣,游船被取消了。我们乘坐他们的巴士进入老虎野生动物园,在那里度过了美好的时光。之后我们逛了逛商店,买了一些当地著名的香料和手工巧克力。晚餐我们在外面吃的。
第六天——早上 10:30 左右,我们出发前往喀拉拉邦著名的山城蒙纳尔。车程大约 3 小时,但沿途风景美不胜收。我们在蒙纳尔市前 13 公里处预订了橡树村酒店 (Oak Village Hotel),两晚的费用约为 13000 卢比,包含早餐。这里环境清幽,我们住了两晚。酒店非常好,服务也很棒,食物也很美味。
第七天——我们一大早就出发,去看马图佩蒂水坝。我们看到了山谷里美丽的茶园,那真是我见过的最美的景色之一。我们在路边停留了一会儿,拍了些照片。我们还参观了一个香料园,在那里买了一些草药。最后,我们到达了目的地,那里人山人海。我们决定乘船游览湖面,玩得非常开心。之后,我们想去参观另一个水坝,但由于交通严重拥堵,没能到达。回程途中,我们去了Ripple茶店买了一些茶和咖啡。之后,我们参观了一家巧克力工厂,买了一些自制巧克力。泰卡迪和蒙纳的巧克力味道都很不错。就连一级茶叶的口感也非常好。
第八天——我们终于离开了蒙纳的酒店,前往科钦。我们在科钦机场附近预订了CASTELO INN酒店。酒店距离机场3公里,是一家非常不错的酒店。我们支付了5582卢比,包含一晚的早餐。晚上,我们去了机场附近逛了逛,感觉也很不错。
第九天——早上8:30,我们离开酒店前往机场,安全准时地到达了目的地。我们准时抵达了加尔各答。
我们非常享受这次旅行,所有酒店住宿条件都很好。我推荐这家酒店,如果您下次来喀拉拉邦旅游,可以考虑入住。
