One journey across two states — hills, backwaters, temple towns, and the southern coast
A combined Kerala & Tamil Nadu tour is South India in one trip: Munnar's tea hills, Thekkady's spice country, and an Alleppey backwater houseboat in Kerala, paired with Kodaikanal, the Meenakshi temple at Madurai, the island town of Rameswaram, and Kanyakumari at India's southern tip. It usually runs 8–12 nights with a private car and driver throughout. Joshua Tours plans the full circuit end to end from Thrissur, Kerala, with an exact quote confirmed on WhatsApp.
Kerala and Tamil Nadu sit side by side across the Western Ghats, which makes them a natural pairing for a single, flowing trip. You get Kerala's tea hills and backwaters and Tamil Nadu's grand temples, cool hill stations, and dramatic southern coast — without long, repetitive drives.
We plan the whole circuit for you — hotels, a private air-conditioned vehicle with driver, an Alleppey houseboat, and the sightseeing you care about — sequenced around your arrival and departure cities so the route always moves forward. Pricing depends on your dates, hotel category, and number of nights, so we quote it per trip.
Rolling tea gardens, cool mountain air, and viewpoints across the Western Ghats.
Periyar spice country and wildlife, with plantation walks and a lake boat ride.
An overnight private houseboat through the palm-lined Kerala backwaters.
Tamil Nadu's "princess of hill stations" — misty lakes, pillar rocks, and forest walks.
The soaring Meenakshi Amman temple, one of India's greatest temple complexes.
A sacred island town with the Ramanathaswamy temple and long causeway bridge.
India's southern tip, where three seas meet — famous for sunrise and sunset views.
A relaxed beach finish near Trivandrum before you fly home.
Comfortable 3-star to 5-star hotels and resorts, matched to your budget on each night.
One private air-conditioned vehicle with an experienced driver across both states.
An overnight backwater houseboat with meals cooked fresh onboard.
Temples, hill stations, and viewpoints arranged in a logical, no-backtrack order.
Pickup and drop at Kochi, Madurai, or Trivandrum, depending on your route.
Planned personally from our Thrissur base, reachable on WhatsApp throughout.

A combined South India circuit pairs Kerala's hills and backwaters — Munnar, Thekkady, and an Alleppey houseboat — with Tamil Nadu's highlights: the Kodaikanal hill station, the Meenakshi temple in Madurai, the island town of Rameswaram, and Kanyakumari at India's southern tip. Trips are customized and usually run 8 to 12 nights.
Eight nights covers the core loop (Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, Kodaikanal, Madurai). Ten nights adds Rameswaram and Kanyakumari. Twelve nights allows a relaxed pace with a beach finish at Kovalam. The exact plan depends on your interests and start and end cities.
A common route runs Kochi → Munnar → Thekkady → Madurai → Kodaikanal → Rameswaram → Kanyakumari → Kovalam/Trivandrum, or the reverse. It flows naturally across the Western Ghats and down to the coast, so you are not backtracking. We plan the sequence around your arrival and departure points.
October to March is the most comfortable season across both states, with pleasant weather in the hills, backwaters, and temple towns. The hill stations of Munnar and Kodaikanal are cool year-round; the plains around Madurai are hot from April to June.
Yes. The mix of hill stations (Munnar, Kodaikanal), a private Alleppey houseboat, and the coast at Kanyakumari and Kovalam makes a varied, scenic honeymoon. We can plan it with premium hotels and romantic touches on request.
Because these are longer, multi-stop trips, the price depends on your dates, number of nights, hotel category, and inclusions. We build a customized plan and confirm an exact, current quote for your specific trip on WhatsApp rather than showing a fixed figure.
