Need help with Itinerary - Kerala - 15 days in December

ankit123

Hi Everyone

I am planning a road trip to Kerala with my wife for about 15 days starting Dec 19 on a Hyundai Verna. I would like to cover some lesser explored places and not go to the major cities through this trip ( I have seen most of the cities there already). There are a few places that I plan to cover (based on a preliminary search on google). These include :

Bangalore, Masinagudi, Madumalai, Kabini, Lakkidi,Calicut, Kochi (Bhoothathankettu), Vagamon, Allepey, Varkala,Trivandrum, Kovalam, Munnar (Eravikulam NP).

Could some one help me plan an itinerary covering these and also suggest if I should add/delete something from the list. I dont plan to stay at regular hotels to the extent possible. Would prefer Home stays/ other scenic options where possible. Also, I would like to know how safe is the whole route and the Home Stay options. Any other suggestions regarding the trip are most welcome.
