Important Notes for a Luxury Package:

1. Direct Confirmation: The itinerary above covers all your requested cities efficiently but involves significant driving distances. It is essential to contact Rengha Holidays directly to confirm this exact route, the category of luxury hotels (5-star or premium 4-star), and the luxury sedan vehicle model included in their specialized 5N/6D package price.
2. Luxury Sedan: For maximum comfort on these long drives, confirm if the package includes a premium sedan like a Toyota Etios, Maruti Ciaz, or an upgrade to an SUV/MPV like an Innova Crysta (which Rengha Travels also offers, as per search results).
3. Houseboat: For a luxury experience, ensure the houseboat is a Premium or Luxury category with all modern amenities and 24-hour AC service (standard houseboats usually have AC only for sleeping hours).
4. Travel Time: Theni to Varkala is a long drive (8+ hours). Starting early on Day 1 is crucial. Trivandrum and Varkala are close, allowing for a combination. Cochin is the ideal drop-off point for a major airport connection.https://www.renghatravels.com/
