You step out of Kochi’s humid morning into a long, winding drive up into the Western Ghats; the road climbs from coastal humidity to the cool tea slopes of Munnar, the air sharpening with each kilometre. In the space of a few days you’ll cross tea-studded ridgelines, peer into misted valleys at Eravikulam, watch elephants near Periyar, then slide silently into the palm-lined canals of Vembanad aboard a private AC houseboat.
