Goa and Kerala Tour – 12 Nights & 13 Days

After breakfast, take a walking tour of the churches of Old Goa, including Catherine's Church, St. Francis Xavier Church, and Se Cathedral.

Begin the day by touring Se Cathedral, one of Asia's largest churches. This cathedral was constructed to celebrate the Portuguese triumph over the Muslim rulers of Goa. Take a look at the beautiful carvings on the altars. Then you go to the Church of St. Francis Xavier, commonly known as The Basilica of Bom Jesus, to see St. Francis Xavier's casket. This Catholic Church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Baroque architecture.

Drive to Miramar Beach in the evening and meet the fishermen at Dona Paula fishing town to hear spine-chilling ghost stories. Dona Paula was the inspiration for the name.

On the third day of your Goa and Kerala Holiday Package, you are free to do whatever you choose. You can partake in adventure and watersports, as well as be pampered with a herbal Ayurvedic massage and play on the beach. Goa's breezy beaches and sunny sky provide many options for water sports such as kayaking and other beach activities.


Paddle around the mangroves, backwaters, and tiny bays in the afternoon. If you want to push yourself, try kneeboarding, diving further into the ocean, or scuba diving to discover undersea life. Finally, windsurfing, a cross between surfing and sailing, can help you beat the waves of the Arabian Sea.

Return to the comforts of your hotel after the day's activities and retire to bed after dinner.

On the fourth day of your Goa Kerala vacation, eat breakfast before being transferred to the airport to catch your aircraft to Cochin. Upon arrival, arrange for a transfer to the hotel.

After your exploration, return to your accommodation for the night.

Drive to the Periyar National Park after breakfast. When you arrive, check into the adjacent forest lodge. Go boating on Periyar Lake in the afternoon.

Continue north to Kumily village, where you can tour the spice plantation and bazaar.

Return to your accommodation after a fun-filled day and get some rest.

Check out and enjoy a lovely journey to Kottayam from Periyar on the ninth day of your Goa and Kerala itinerary. Board a traditional houseboat (Kettuvallam) for an overnight backwater trip upon arrival. Sail through the lovely countryside, paddy fields, churches, and temples. Enjoy the tranquil setting while spotting colourful birds in the sky, fish diving around your houseboat, and locals going about their everyday activities. Spend the evening stargazing from the deck and enjoying traditional cuisine.
