Escape the city and journey into the heart of Kerala’s timeless countryside with a soulful day tour to Vaikom, a charming temple town nestled along serene backwaters.
Your day begins with a scenic drive from Cochin through lush paddy fields and coconut groves. On arrival, step aboard a traditional country boat for a peaceful canal cruise. Glide through narrow waterways shaded by swaying palms, where village life unfolds gently along the banks — fishermen casting nets, women washing clothes, and children waving with bright smiles. It’s slow travel at its finest.
After the cruise, take a guided village walk through quiet lanes and local homes. Witness the fascinating process of traditional coir rope making — from coconut husk soaking to hand-twisting the fiber into sturdy ropes. You may even try your hand at it! Engage in authentic village activities, interact with locals, and experience the warmth of Kerala hospitality.
