Overview

A 2-night Kerala escape — Kochi city culture by day, an overnight Alleppey backwaters cruise by night, ending with a slow morning back on the water.

Land in Kochi and spend day one with Kerala's coastal heritage — the Hill Palace Museum, Marine Drive's waterfront, the Chottanikkara Bhagavathy Temple, and the buzz of Lulu Mall and MG Road. Day two we drive south to Alleppey and step on board a traditional kettuvallam houseboat. Drift past coconut palms and village ghats, eat Kerala fish curry cooked fresh on board and sleep under the stars on the water. Wake to backwater birdsong on day three before the return transfer to Kochi.

  • Lulu Mall & MG Road shopping evening
