Day 1
Arrive at Alappuzha at the designated start Point. We will commence our kayaking near the coastal town of Alleppey and paddle through the famed backwaters – exploring the lagoons and the lakes. The vast expanse of water, the friendly people, and their life styles from up close is bound to mesmerize you. We will settle into a small cozy resort on an island in the midst of the backwaters.
Day 2
Our destination today will be a heritage villa along the backwaters. We will paddle through the narrow canals near Kavalam – an erstwhile headquarters of affluent agrarian families – the majestic homes standing testimony to their grandeur past. An excellent opportunity to see village life at close quarters – local people engaged in fishing, duck rearing, and shell and mud collection for the farms. You may also see the traditional toddy tappers at their work on coconut palms. Toddy ‘shops’ (bars), traditional meeting places for men after a grueling day at work dot the landscape. We will stop for lunch at a beautiful coconut grove on a ‘bund’ by the lakeshore. We will continue our kayaking till we cruise into the beautiful heritage villa on the banks of the river Manimala to enjoy a delicious Kuttanadan dinner and a well-deserved rest.
Day 3
Depart after breakfast. End of Tour
