Itinerary

Day 1: Cochin - Alleppey (60kms)

Start the day with a breakfast at your Cochin hotel, featuring a selection of South Indian and continental dishes. Transfer to the Alleppey boat jetty, where you will board a traditional houseboat, known locally as a “kettuvallam.” These boats are intricately crafted from wood and offer a unique, floating accommodation experience. Cruise through the serene backwaters of Alleppey, often referred to as the “Venice of the East.” The boat will navigate narrow canals bordered by lush coconut groves and verdant rice paddies. During the cruise, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch onboard, which may include Kerala specialties such as fish curry, appam (rice pancakes), and payasam (a sweet dessert). Disembark from the houseboat in the late afternoon and check in at your hotel in Marari Beach, a peaceful coastal retreat known for its pristine environment. Relax on Marari Beach, which boasts clean, golden sands and crystal-clear waters. The beach is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying the natural beauty of the Arabian Sea. Watch the sunset over the horizon, a picturesque scene best enjoyed from the houseboat’s sundeck or directly from the beach. Overnight stay at the Marari Beach hotel, where you can unwind in a serene atmosphere.

Day 2: Marari Beach

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at the Marari Beach hotel, featuring fresh tropical fruits, local delicacies, and international breakfast favorites. Spend the day at leisure on Marari Beach, renowned for its calm and laid-back atmosphere. Lounge on the soft sands or take a dip in the warm, inviting waters.
