Cochin - Aleppey - Kumarokom:

Reach Cochin and our representative will meet at the airport. Proceed for Aleppey by surface after initial introduction.

Board the houseboat. Our backwater journey will start from Aleppey (also known as Alappuzha), which is known as the Venice of the East. It was here that traders from across the seven seas came in search of black gold and souvenirs.

Plunge into a crystal maze of one of the greatest gifts of nature that god has bestowed upon us. As the boat glides silently forward through the largest vast expanse backwater body, The Vembanad Lake, you will drift into a world of peace and serenity. At this point, we will serve you the mouth watering local cuisine and you will agree that it is truly God's own country.

After a short siesta be prepared for the most fascinating journey through the panoramic view of the paddy fields admiring duck farming, watching divers diving for mussels via Mangalam, Chithira, R-block and C block with a cup of steaming tea/coffee in your hand.

On our way a stop at the St. Mary's Church at Champakulam is a must. One of the oldest churches in Kerala, the St. Mary's church is believed to be one of the seven established by St Thomas. You will see the 130 feet long snake racing boat here as they originally belong to this place.

Arrive at Kumarakom enjoying the beauty of the traditional Keralian houses.

The village of Kumarakom is a cluster of little islands on the Vembanad Lake, and this small water world is part of the Kuttanad region. The bird sanctuary here, which is spread across 14 acres, is a favorite haunt of migratory birds and an ornithologist's paradise. Egrets, darters, herons, teal, waterfowl, cuckoo, wild duck and migratory birds like the Siberian storks that live there in flocks are a fascination for visitors. The best way to watch the birds of the Kumarokom sanctuary is a boat trip round the islands.

Check in at resort and relax in the evening. There is a games room and a library for the kids to enjoy.

Overnight stay will be at COCONUT LAGOON.

Kumarakom - Thekkady:
