Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered

We pick guests from all hotels in Cochin / Alleppey / Kumarakom

  • Alleppey Backwaters, Alappuzha, Kerala, India
    Commence your tour with a morning with pickup from your hotel for the drive to Alleppy, where you'll board your houseboat. Enjoy a welcome drink as the 4-hour cruise begins along Punnamada Lake, home to Nehru trophy boat race. Admire the breathtaking views of the lake, and observe the glimpse of village life as you travel past the banks. The boat stops for a lavish lunch of traditional Kerala cuisine. Thereafter transfer to a shikara to navigate the narrow waterways and shallow channels. Shikara is a traditional motorized canoe with its roof covered. However, all the sides are open and there are cushioned seats to sit on. It is just a miniature form of houseboat. Make your way past rural fishing villages and lush jungle landscapes. Then continue cruising, passing by rice paddies, palm-lined canals, and churches. In the late afternoon, enjoy coffee or tea with Kerala-style snacks before your cruise ends in the early evening. Disembark between 3pm and 5pm, and your private driver will drive you from Alleppey back to your hotel in Kochi, Alleppey or Kumarakom.

    We had a perfect day, everything was nicely arranged. Pick up from our hotel was on time, driver was supernice and helpful. Our first boat was the houseboat, all for ourselves nice and realxing. We had lunch on the boat, freshly cooked by the chef. Our second boat was a smaller boat, but we would have liked it to be even smaller to go into the backwaters somemore. The second trip was very short and more of the same from what we had seen on te first boat. Not bad, but that could be better. Drive back to the hotel was perfect again, driver stopped for some photo moments as per request. All in all a wonderful day and worth the money!
