Tour Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Kochi – Colonial Charm by the Sea

Your Kerala journey begins with a warm welcome at Cochin International Airport and a transfer to your hotel. After some rest, set out to explore Fort Kochi, starting at the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets and strolling past St. Francis Church, India’s oldest European church, and the grand Santa Cruz Basilica. Continue to Mattancherry to visit the Dutch Palace with its exquisite murals, the historic Paradesi Synagogue, and the antique shops and spice stalls of Jew Town. In the evening, enjoy the sunset over the harbour.

Overnight: Kochi

Day 2: Kochi to Alleppey – Houseboat Cruise (about 55 km, 1.5 hours)

After breakfast, drive to Alleppey and board your traditionally crafted Kerala houseboat. Cruise through palm-fringed canals and shimmering lagoons, watching village life unfold along the banks: fishermen at work, women weaving coir, and old temples by the water. Savour freshly prepared Kerala delicacies on board, and relax on the sundeck as the sun sets over the backwaters.

Overnight: Houseboat in Alleppey

Day 3: Alleppey to Varkala – Cliffs Above the Arabian Sea (about 110 km, 3 hours)

Wake to the calm of the backwaters and enjoy breakfast on board before disembarking. Drive south to Varkala, where dramatic red cliffs rise above the Arabian Sea. Walk along the clifftop path lined with cafés and small shops, visit the sacred Papanasam Beach, believed to wash away sins, and watch a spectacular sunset from the cliff edge.

Overnight: Varkala

Day 4: Varkala to Kovalam via Trivandrum (about 55 km, 2 hours)

After breakfast, head to Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram), Kerala’s capital. See the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, renowned for its towering gopuram (entry inside is for Hindus only, with a strict dress code), explore the 19th-century Napier Museum, and admire works by Raja Ravi Varma at the Sree Chitra Art Gallery. Continue to Kovalam and check in to your seaside hotel. End the day with a mesmerising sunset at Lighthouse Beach, or unwind with a soothing Ayurvedic massage.

Overnight: Kovalam

Day 5: Departure from Trivandrum – Farewell Kerala (about 15 km, 30 minutes)
