Kochi to Alappuzha or Kumarakom Houseboat Cruise
Get picked up from your preferred location, such as Kochi Airport, the cruise terminal, or your hotel in Kochi.
Enjoy a 45-minute drive to Alappuzha or Kumarakom with your English-speaking Indian tour guide.
Check into the houseboat at 11:00 am and be greeted by the extremely cordial staff with tender coconut water. You will be escorted to your room, where you can freshen up and enjoy the detailed furnishings of your private room on the houseboat.
Have a scrumptious lunch at 1:00 pm, usually comprising traditional Kerala dishes, after the boat has set off. However, if you have other food requirements, you will need to inform the respective operators in advance. You also have free access to the kitchen and can ask the chef to whip up something special for you.
Continue on the cruise, making stopovers to catch a glimpse of the beautiful things the villages and Vembanad Lake have to offer.
Catch glimpses of the villages on the banks of the lake, kiosks selling local dishes, and churches in the distance. Experience toddy-making and even tasting - it is an experience you will take back from your Alappuzha cruise through beautiful rivers and canals.
