Hi cavebird,

Thats a pretty good Itinery, just a few things,

1) Hopefully the Boat rides in the Periyar Lake will be back operational by then after the recent Boating Accident,see thread
on this in Kerala Forum.You may find some usefull advice if you
are Deciding on going on Boat,ie; If you cannot swim, wear a Life jacket.

2) you say you are looking for Quiet time, I don't think Kovalam
will be that Quiet in Nov & Dec.For a Quiet Beach try Allepey
Beach whilst you are in the Backwater area.If you also have time
in Backwater area,try and do a 3hr Country Boat trip,They are
pretty good.

3) If you do go to Kovalam, are you not able to fly from Trivandrum back to home.If not you may be better advised to catch
train back to Cochin.

Have a great Honeymoon.
