Traveling to Kerala is a complete experience in itself, owing to the diverse activities that are blended within the regions. If your itinerary consists of Kochi, Alleppey, and Kovalam, then you are all set to experience the diverse shades of Kerala. Each of these locations has some different features which will be highly pleasant. The entire journey will be a wonderful experience and quite educational as well.
Our representative will greet you at the airport. After checking in at the hotel we arranged for you and relaxing for a bit, we can commence with Cochin. Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary and Kerala Folklore museum are two places that are the nearest and hence serve as a convenient start for the trip. If you want to explore the culture and heritage of God’s Own Country, the museum is a must visit. For nature lovers, the bird sanctuary is a paradise. For a spiritual retreat, Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica and St Francis Church offer great architecture to marvel at.
Cochin has many palaces, most of which have now been turned into a museum. In Fort Kochi and Mattancherry, you would find palaces build by the Portugues, Dutch, British, etc. Spend some time at the Paradesi Synagogue and you will surely learn a lot. Do not forget to check the Chinese Fishing Nets while you are at Fort Kochi Beach.
Traveling from Cochin to Alleppey, you will notice the complete shift from Cochin’s bustling urban life to the serene rural settings of Alleppey. Upon your arrival in Alleppey and after freshening up, you can take the famous houseboat ride in the backwaters of Kuttanad and Vembanad Lake and relax at the beach.
The green paddy fields will surely provide a visual treat. This is also a perfect moment to savor the delectable Kerala dishes. In case you are in search of a calming place to spend your spiritual time, the town of Alleppey also has numerous temples and churches to visit.
You’re at Trivandrum now. Situated in the capital of Trivandrum, Kovalam is a small town that has a beach feeling to it. Also, do not forget to taste the wonderful South Indian Coffee served at the hotels. After relaxing, change to your beach clothes because you will be at the various beaches in Kovalam the entire day.
Relaxing in the waves is one option in addition to surfing, snorkeling, and other beach activities. In addition to the hot waves of the sea, the beach will also be pretty hot. Finally, do not forget to have a go at climbing the lighthouse.
After all the fun and adventures on the beach, you must be tired. Don’t worry, you can reserve the second day in Kovalam for some self-pampering. Over the past few decades, Ayurvedic massages and spas have become easily accessible in and around Kovalam. Make sure you enjoy a thoroughly relaxing time in these centers.
Apart from the relaxation spas, these centers also have treatments for specific ailments. Also, do not miss visiting Halcyon Castle, which was built for the royal family in the 30s and is now a heritage hotel. Make sure you do not miss shopping for souvenirs from Kovalam before you leave. You will find stunning handicrafts and antiques in the shops along the beach.
On the final day of your journey, our representative will escort you to Trivandrum International Airport for a smooth and comfortable drop-off and bid you a warm farewell. As you fly home, you’ll carry with you cherished memories of Kerala and a sense of feeling truly refreshed and revitalised.
