Detailed Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Cochin to Kumarakom – Lakeside Arrival (Approx. 2.5 hrs)
You’ll be greeted at Cochin Airport or Railway Station by our local team. From there, enjoy a scenic drive to Kumarakom, a charming village by the Vembanad Lake.
After checking in at your lakeside hotel or resort, spend the day as you wish: unwind, explore the property, or simply sit by the water as the sun goes down.
🛏️ Overnight in Kumarakom
Day 2: Slow Day in Kumarakom
This day is yours to enjoy slowly. After breakfast, you can visit the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary (optional), known for its serene walking trails and seasonal migratory birds.
Prefer something even slower? Consider a light Ayurveda wellness session, or a village walk to get a taste of local life. No fixed schedule — just what feels right.
🛏️ Overnight in Kumarakom
Day 3: Kumarakom to Alleppey – Private Houseboat Stay (Approx. 1 hr)
After a relaxed morning, you’ll head to Alleppey, where your private houseboat awaits. Step onboard by noon and begin cruising Kerala’s legendary backwaters — past palm-lined canals, quiet villages, and swaying paddy fields.
A dedicated crew takes care of your meals, which are freshly prepared in the onboard kitchen. Sunset from the deck is a moment to remember.
🛏️ Overnight on Houseboa
Day 4: Disembark and Departure via Cochin
Wake up to the stillness of the backwaters. After breakfast, disembark and head back to Cochin for your return journey.
We’ll drop you off at the airport or railway station with plenty of time — and hopefully, with a heart full of calm.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I customize this itinerary?
Of course. Travel should reflect you. Whether you’d like to swap hotels, slow down the pace, or add something personal like a wellness session or special dinner, we’re happy to adjust the plan to fit your preferences. Just let us know what feels right for your journey.
Q: Will the houseboat be shared with other travelers?
Not at all. When we say private houseboat, we mean it. The space is yours — with a dedicated crew onboard to take care of everything, including traditional meals. It’s designed to be peaceful, personal, and truly relaxing.
Q: What’s the best time to visit Kerala?
Kerala is beautiful throughout the year, but the most comfortable months for travel are October to March. You’ll enjoy pleasant weather that’s great for exploring. If you love greenery and don’t mind light rain, monsoon season (June to September) offers a lush, quieter experience.
Q: Is this tour suitable for both couples and families?
Yes, it’s crafted to be flexible and enjoyable for both. Couples love the scenic drives and houseboat stay, while families appreciate the relaxed pace and nature-rich destinations. We can fine-tune the trip depending on who you’re traveling with — be it your partner, kids, or friends.
