Rising from the coastal plains, Kerala's hill stations are a world of misty tea gardens, cool air and endless green. From the rolling estates of Munnar to the forested ridges of Wayanad and the spice hills of Thekkady, the highlands offer a refreshing contrast to the backwaters and beaches. Holiday Vibez shapes hill-station tours that weave together tea country, viewpoints, waterfalls and gentle treks. They form the perfect first leg of a classic hills-backwaters-beach Kerala circuit.

Overview

Kerala's Western Ghats rise into a string of cool, green hill stations, each with its own character. Munnar is the tea-garden showpiece, Wayanad the forested wild card, Thekkady the spice-and-wildlife hub and Vagamon the quiet meadowland. Together they offer crisp air, big views and a welcome change of pace.

Munnar & the tea country

Munnar is the jewel of Kerala's highlands — hillsides quilted with tea, dotted with colonial-era estates and framed by peaks. Eravikulam National Park, Mattupetty Dam and Top Station make it an easy and rewarding base.

Wayanad & Vagamon

For something wilder and quieter, Wayanad offers misty forests, the Edakkal Caves and waterfalls, while Vagamon charms with rolling meadows and pine woods — both lovely for gentle walks and photography.

  • Edakkal Caves and prehistoric carvings
  • Waterfalls and forest trails
  • Vagamon's meadows and paragliding slopes

Thekkady & spice hills

Thekkady blends highland scenery with wildlife and spice. A plantation walk reveals cardamom, pepper and cinnamon, while a Periyar lake safari brings the chance to spot elephants and deer at the water's edge.

How to reach

Kochi International Airport (COK) is the main gateway for Munnar and Thekkady, both a scenic three-to-four-hour drive away. Kozhikode (CCJ) is nearer for Wayanad. The roads climb through beautiful, winding hill country.

Best time to visit

September to March offers cool, clear highland weather and lush greenery, with December and January the peak. Nights can be chilly, so carry a light layer. The monsoon paints the hills their greenest but brings mist and rain.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
