A slow 3-hour bamboo boat ride through quiet village backwaters, coconut palms, and everyday canal life.
Narrow canals reveal the calm rhythm of Vaikom, with small homes, boats, greenery, and water-side village movement.
Meet the culture behind the waterways through simple, grounded village moments and traditional Kerala hospitality.
Watch hands-on village craft traditions including coir rope making from coconut fibre and local weaving practices.
The tour is designed around unhurried backwater movement, giving enough time to observe the place rather than rush through it.
After the activities, guests are served a Kerala traditional lunch before continuing deeper into the small canals.
Following lunch, a 45-minute small canal boat ride brings guests closer to the intimate waterways of Vaikom.
Green backwater edges, village paths, and soft reflections complete the full-day experience before hotel drop-off.
Full-day tour available every day. Pickup 8:30 AM - 8:45 AM, drop-off 4:00 PM - 4:30 PM. Price is ₹1,900 per person.
