Land in Kochi. Drive to Alleppey and board your private houseboat for an overnight backwater cruise.
Overview
About this package
Four days of serenity in Kerala — glide through Alleppey's palm-fringed backwaters aboard a traditional kettuvallam houseboat, wake to mist over Munnar's rolling tea plantations, and let an authentic Ayurvedic therapist work centuries-old techniques into tired shoulders. Slow water, green hills and genuine quiet make this one of the gentlest short escapes in India. Add a quiet Kathakali performance, a spice-garden walk, and the slow rhythm of paddle punts on still water, and four days feel like a proper reset.
