The Top Station Valley trek near Munnar in Kerala is a superb trek that takes you past the rolling green tea fields and offers amazing views. The trek can be done in two ways. The first is to drive from Munnar to Yellapetty Tea Estate, passing Echo-Point and Kundala Dam en route and then walking five hours through tea plantations, shola forests and grassland to top station at 1,700 metres (5,577ft).
Combine the bustling and colourful markets of Cochin, wander through tea plantations and cruise the backwaters of Kerala before kicking back on the turquoise blue lagoons of the Maldives on an ultimate twin-centre holiday.
This classic route takes you from Chennai (Madras) in Tamil Nadu, through the hills and into the Kerala to see the tea estates, backwaters and ending on the beach.
Kerala is exceptionally laid-back, and a leisurely private tour allows you to see the markets and history of Cochin, tea estates, wildlife, spice plantations, backwaters and end on the Indian Ocean.
