Misty Munnar and Houseboat Romance — 3 Nights / 4 Days
Three nights split as two in a Munnar honeymoon room and one on a private houseboat, so a first trip together gets both the tea hills and the backwaters without a rushed third stop. The houseboat is yours alone, with dinner served on the upper deck as the boat sits anchored on Vembanad Lake for the night.
About this itinerary
This 3 nights and 4 days honeymoon package covers Munnar and Alleppey from Kochi, based on two nights in a Munnar honeymoon room and one night on a private houseboat. Day 1 climbs to Munnar past the Cheeyappara and Valara falls, Day 2 is an unhurried tea hills day with a shikara ride on Kundala Lake and a private tea estate walk, Day 3 drops down to Alleppey for a private premium houseboat on Vembanad Lake, and Day 4 disembarks after breakfast for the drive to Kochi.
The pacing keeps it to two halves, the highlands and the backwaters, without squeezing in a rushed third stop. The houseboat is private rather than shared, and Alleppey houseboats cruise through the afternoon and anchor by around 5.30 pm, so the boat is moored for sunset and dinner rather than moving after dark.
Everything below is included unless it is listed under Add-ons.

Questions about this package
What does the Misty Munnar and Houseboat Romance package cover?
Two nights in a Munnar honeymoon room with an unhurried tea hills day, a shikara ride on Kundala Lake and a private tea estate walk, then a private premium houseboat on Vembanad Lake with dinner served on the upper deck. Day 4 disembarks after breakfast for the drive back to Kochi.
Is the houseboat private or shared?
Private. The boat is yours alone, which is the main difference between this package and cheaper listings at a similar price. The crew stays out of the way, and dinner is served on the upper deck.
What honeymoon inclusions come with the package?
Room decoration, a welcome fruit basket or cake, one candlelight dinner at the Munnar resort, and the private houseboat. Extra additions such as a honeymoon suite or pool villa, a couple Ayurveda spa or more candlelight dinners are re-quoted.
Do we need to show a marriage certificate?
Some resorts that offer honeymoon inclusions do ask for one. It varies by property, so we check the policy of the specific resort before we confirm your booking and tell you if a certificate is needed.
How cold does Munnar get in the evenings?
Cold enough to want a jacket, particularly in December and January, when the evenings turn misty. Most couples end up enjoying it. Pack one warm layer each even if the rest of your trip is at sea level.
Can this itinerary be customised?
Yes. Customization option is available. The room category and meal plan stay open, suite, villa and premium houseboat upgrades are re-quoted, and the package works with or without flights.
How do I book, and can I cancel?
50% of the package amount confirms the booking, and the balance is due before departure or on arrival. Payment is by bank wire transfer to our account. Dates may be changed, shortened or cancelled with 30 days' written notice, subject to availability. Inside 30 days the package amount is retained in full.
