The Destinations on This Route
A little background on each place this trip takes you to.
Ponmudi
Ponmudi is a cool, lightly developed hill station in the Western Ghats, reached by a winding hairpin road through tea and rubber estates, with viewpoints over the valley at the top.
Thenmala
Thenmala, India's first planned eco-tourism destination, is built around a dam and reservoir with a canopy walk, rope bridges and boating alongside quieter forest trails.
Munroe Island
Munroe Island is a cluster of small backwater islands near Kollam, best explored by canoe through narrow canals lined with coconut groves and Chinese fishing nets.
Marari Beach
Marari is a quiet fishing-village beach near Alleppey, its long open sands and handful of boutique stays making it a slower-paced alternative to the town's backwater circuit.
