Day 1 : Fort Kochi
We will check into a Heritage Hotel right in the midst of Fort Kochi and discover this historic city of ancient churches, synagogues and palaces. In the evening we will attend a traditional dance performance - Kathakali
Day 2 : Rice boat
We travel to Alleppey to embark on one of Kerala's special accommodation - the Houseboat. This will be an ever memorable cruise through the lagoons, lakes and rivers that make up the beautiful backwaters of Kerala.
Day 3, 4: By the backwaters
We would be spending the next couple of days at a riverside heritage home near Alleppey, by the beautiful waterways and backwaters of the Kuttanad region. This heritage home is located on an island resplendent with exotic flora, breathtaking flowers, myriad birds and butterflies to make a memorable holiday, affordable and unforgettable. A truly wonderful way to spend your time on the banks of the backwaters of Kerala! You can roam around the local village, go canoeing with your friendly boatman or watch the toddy tappers at work. There is also the opportunity to visit the ancient local temples or the old church along the backwaters. If you are in the mood to learn a little of Keralan cooking, you have come to the right place.
Day 5: At a Spice Villa.
We will move to a home stay tucked away in the interiors of Kerala, by the foothills of the Western Ghats. Professor Jose and his family live in the farm – an organic farm with goats, cows and buffaloes, pigs and chicken, turkeys, ducks and guineas fowls. From the patio of your room you can see the mountains of the Western Ghats. This is indeed a retreat into quiet village solitude. A walk through the countryside, through rubber plantations or to the nearby river is salve to the tired senses. It is an ideal place to get a ringside view of growing spices or learn a little about the organic farming.
