Here’s a compact 4-day Kerala itinerary that balances two of the state’s best hill stations with its most relaxed beaches.

Day 1 — Coastal start: Kochi and Cherai Beach
- Morning: Arrive at Cochin (Kochi). Start with Fort Kochi – Chinese Fishing Nets, Dutch Palace, St. Francis Church, and the spice markets.
- Afternoon: Drive to Cherai Beach (about 1 hour from Kochi). Relax on the long golden sand, take a dip, or enjoy a short boat ride.
- Evening: Sunset on the beach, fresh seafood at a beachfront cafe.
- Stay: Kochi or Cherai (2 options depending on your preference for city vibe vs. quiet beach).

Day 2 — Hill station 1: Munnar
- Morning: Early departure to Munnar (roughly 4–5 hours by road; scenic climb into the Western Ghats). Check in and freshen up.
- Afternoon: Tea estates and viewpoints. Visit Eravikulam National Park (Rajamalai) for tea-clad hills and, if in season, the Nilgiri Tahr. Optional: Mattupetti Dam or photo stops at famous viewpoints.
- Evening: Stroll through Munnar town, sample local malabar tea and snacks.
- Stay: Munnar (comfortable mid-range or boutique options).

Day 3 — Hill station to Beach: Varkala or Kovalam
- Morning: Quick morning in Munnar (optional early walk among tea bushes) and check out.
- Afternoon: Drive to a beach town on the Kerala coast. Choose:
  - Varkala (about 4–5 hours): Varkala Cliff, Papanasam Beach, laid-back cafés, sunset views.
  - Kovalam (about 4–5 hours): Three beaches in one crescent, lighthouses, easy swimming, waterfront dining.
- Evening: Relax on the beach, sunset at the cliff (Varkala) or the lighthouse area (Kovalam).
- Stay: Beachfront hotel in Varkala or Kovalam.

Day 4 — Beach morning and departure
- Morning: More beach time or a short local activity (kayaking if you’re near Kovalam; a relaxed cliff walk in Varkala). Optional quick visit to Poovar estuary if you’re near Trivandrum and have time for a boat ride.
- Departure: Head to the airport or train station from Trivandrum (if you’re ending near Kovalam/Varkala) or return to Kochi if your flight is there.

Optional variations
- If you’d rather start in Trivandrum: Day 1 start at Ponmudi (short hill-station trip) or Kovalam; Day 2 Varkala; Day 3 travel to Munnar; Day 4 back to Trivandrum for departure. This keeps drives shorter and stays efficient.
- If you want more beach time and less hill time: swap Munnar for Marari Beach (near Alleppey) and keep Kovalam/Varkala as the beach days.
- For a deeper backwater flavor: add a half-day trip to Alleppey from Kochi or Kovalam (depending on your route) to experience a houseboat glide.

Practical tips
- Best time: October–February offers pleasant weather for both beaches and hills. Monsoon (June–Sept) can be heavy; if you don’t mind some rain, it’s lush and quieter.
- Travel pace: Kerala’s roads can be winding and slow; plan 4–5 hours of driving per day with a private driver if possible.
- Getting around: Hire a car with driver or use reputable private taxis. For internal flights, you could do Kochi–Thiruvananthapuram if you’re short on time.
- Where to stay: 3–4 star hotels with sea view or hillside boutique stays in Munnar; mid-range options in Varkala/Kovalam are plentiful.
- What to pack: lightweight clothing, sun protection, a light rain jacket (monsoon or coastal weather), comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, and a basic first-aid kit.
