Day by day

  1. Day 1

    Travel from Trivandrum through Chadayamangalam for Jatayu Earth's Centre, then continue to Paravoor in Kollam for a relaxed evening.

  2. Day 2

    Cruise Ashtamudi by houseboat, then canoe through Munroe Island’s canals for village life, fishing, coir-making and farming, with lunch in a village home.

  3. Day 3

    Return to Trivandrum for departure, adding temple, palace, gallery, zoo or planetarium visits if time permits.

Trivandrum sightseeing depends on departure time. A Kollam rail departure with a possible lighthouse stop is an alternative.
