Your Itinerary

A carefully crafted flow — every day earns its place.

1
Day 1 — Arrive in Kochi
Arrive at Cochin International Airport. Meet your guide and drive to Kochi (Fort Kochi area). Explore the Chinese fishing nets at sunset — one of Kerala's most iconic sights. Stroll through the Dutch and Portuguese heritage lanes. Dinner at a waterfront restaurant.
2
Day 2 — Kochi to Alleppey Houseboat
Morning: visit Mattancherry Palace (Dutch Palace), St. Francis Church, and the Jewish Synagogue in Jew Town. After lunch, board your private houseboat at Alleppey (Alappuzha). Drift through the palm-fringed backwaters as the chef prepares a Kerala sadhya (feast). Sleep on the water under a canopy of stars.
3
Day 3 — Backwater Life & Kumarakom
Sunrise on the water — perhaps the most peaceful moment of the trip. After breakfast on board, disembark and drive to Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary. Canoe through the narrow canals. Afternoon Ayurvedic massage at your lake-view resort. Traditional Kathakali performance in the evening.
4
Day 4 — Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary
Drive to Munnar through the spice plantations of Thekkady. Board a boat on Periyar Lake for a wildlife safari — elephants, bison, and deer come to the water's edge. Walk through a working spice garden. Overnight at a plantation estate.
5
Day 5 — Departure from Kochi
Morning drive back to Kochi (approx. 4 hrs). Last chance for souvenir shopping at Jew Town antique shops. Transfer to Cochin Airport for your flight home, carrying the scent of cardamom and the sound of water.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Yes. Your houseboat is exclusively yours — no other guests. It comes with a captain, chef, and deck hand.
We do not recommend swimming in the main channels, but some resorts have private pools. The water is calm and the houseboats are very stable.
October to March is ideal. Monsoon (June-August) is also magical and quieter, but some houseboat routes may be limited.
Absolutely. A 2-night Kovalam extension is one of our most popular add-ons for this tour.
Yes. Just mention dietary preferences in your booking notes and the on-board chef will prepare accordingly.
