Itinerary
Arrival in Kochi — Transfer to Marari Beach & Evening at Leisure
Arrive at Cochin International Airport (Kochi) and transfer (approx. 1–1.5 hours) to Marari Beach. Check-in and unwind by the shoreline. Enjoy a relaxed evening walk on the soft sands and watch the sunset. If you arrive early, we can arrange a short village walk to meet local fishermen and see traditional nets.
Marari Beach: Beach Day & Village Walk
Spend a full day soaking up the beach vibes. Morning yoga or a gentle walk on Marari Beach, followed by a guided fishing-village walk to learn about local life — fish markets, coconut weaving (coir), and boat-repair yards. Afternoon is free for swimming or an optional Ayurvedic massage at the resort. Good for families: shallow waters and calm beaches.
Local Experiences — Canoe Ride & Sunset Fishing Visit
Morning canoe (vallam) ride through nearby canals and backwater inlets — ideal for birdwatching and photography. Afternoon visit to a coastal fishing hamlet to meet fishermen, watch net-casting and hear stories of life at sea. Enjoy a beach barbeque (seasonal) or local seafood dinner. Children enjoy interactive sessions like crab-catching and boat-spotting.
Transfer to Alleppey & Houseboat Backwater Cruise
After breakfast, check out and transfer to Alleppey (Alappuzha). Board a traditional Kerala houseboat for a leisurely cruise through the famous backwaters — palm-fringed canals, paddy fields and village life pass by. Overnight on the houseboat with freshly prepared Kerala-style meals on board. Houseboat cruise time: typically 8–12 hours depending on route and preferences.
Disembark — Lakeside Cottage/Homestay, Village Walk & Market Visit
Disembark mid-morning and check in to a lakeside cottage or homestay. Spend the day exploring Alleppey's inland villages by bicycle or tuk-tuk — visit coir factories, toddy shops and the local market. Evening leisure by the lake; optional short boat trip in the sunset. This day is gentle and family-friendly, great for immersive local encounters.
Departure — Transfer to Kochi for Flight/Train
After breakfast, check out and transfer to Kochi for your onward flight or train. If time permits, stop for a quick Fort Kochi walk: see the Chinese fishing nets, St. Francis Church, and a coastal café.
