PLAN YOUR TOUR NOW

Kochi/Cochin is a beautiful city situated in “God’s own country” Kerala. We (me and my hubby) planned the tour to explore this scenic view. As we heard and google about it a lot, and excited to visit the place for its best culinary.

We made our plan to start from Munnar, it is 13 hrs.journey from Bangalore(the city where we currently living)

NON-A/C sleeper

Excitement reached high when the next morning gives us its own spectacular views. Yes! we were on a hill ride since 4 am morning.

THE VIEW!! from the bus window

GREAT! The driver stopped at Marayoor which is 2.5 hrs. away from the main destination for breakfast, was also spectacular by its own beauty.

After reached(!) we got a nice and decent cottage.

Planswise we left Munnar early morning to reach our next destination, Kochi. It was 4hrs.journey by road, as we opted state bus ride. Tourists usually hire a cab. But we wanted more experience!

To reach by bus, have to get down Ernakulam bus depot. Clean, informative and helpful locals showed the way to ferry, as we have to reach Fort Kochi.
