Quick answer

The 10-day grand tour starts in Kochi and ends in Trivandrum: Kochi (1 night) → Alleppey houseboat (1) → Wayanad (3) → Munnar (2) → Kovalam (1) → Trivandrum (1). Expect three long transfer days — Alleppey to Wayanad (7.5–8.5 h), Wayanad to Munnar (9–10 h) and Munnar to Kovalam (7–8 h) — which can be split by adding a night.
