Day Tours & Sightseeing

Personalised Day Tours Around Munnar

Discover More. Travel Comfortably. Return Home Relaxed.

Every traveller experiences Munnar differently.

Some want to spend their day surrounded by tea-covered mountains. Others dream of seeing wild elephants, walking through Eravikulam National Park, watching a Kathakali performance, or exploring hidden villages beyond the usual tourist routes.

At Sceva’s Garden Home, we help you plan day tours that match your interests, the season, and your pace of travel.

Working with trusted local drivers who know these roads intimately, we’ll recommend the best routes, suggest worthwhile stops along the way, and organise a comfortable sightseeing tour that begins after breakfast and returns home by evening.

Unlike our Signature Jeep Journeys, these tours are conducted in comfortable cars and are ideal for families, couples, and travellers who prefer a relaxed day of sightseeing.

Why Stay at Sceva's Garden Home?

Many first-time visitors assume staying inside Munnar town saves travel time.

In reality, Munnar’s attractions are spread across several different directions, and almost every visitor needs transport to explore the region—regardless of where they stay.

Being located just before Munnar offers several practical advantages.

If you’re arriving from Kochi, Alleppey, Kumarakom, or the airport, you’ll reach Sceva’s Garden Home earlier in the afternoon, giving you more time to relax instead of spending extra time in traffic towards Munnar town.

Likewise, when you continue your journey towards destinations such as Thekkady, Alleppey, Kumarakom, Kochi, Vagamon, or other parts of Kerala, you’ll already be about 30 kilometres closer, making your onward journey quicker and more comfortable.

Instead of spending unnecessary hours on the road, you spend more time enjoying your holiday.
