1N → Kollam – 2N → Trivandrum Airport – Drop
Begin your Kerala journey with a memorable transition from Cochin Airport to the tranquil waterways of Alleppey, where the experience takes you directly onto a traditional houseboat. By noon, board your floating accommodation and settle into a day cruise through the scenic backwaters, with lunch served on board. As the landscape gradually changes from afternoon to evening, the houseboat drops anchor for a night surrounded by the backwater setting, offering hospitality, comfort and privacy on board. The following morning, continue sailing before reaching the Alleppey jetty by 9 AM, then proceed towards Kollam. Here, the itinerary introduces the beauty of Ashtamudi Lake, followed by a stay at a backwater resort and evening in-house activities. The next day brings a closer look at local life through visits to a typical coir village, houseboat manufacturing centre, Cashew Factory and a temple without deity. The journey concludes with a transfer from the hotel to Trivandrum Airport for the departure journey.
