This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Alleppey Backwaters, Alappuzha India

The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both man made and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Kochi (Cochin), Kochi (Cochin), Ernakulam District, Kerala

Visiting some of the most fascinating sites in Fort Cochin and Mattancherry like the Dutch Palace (closed on Friday). Your tour will continue with a visit to the Jewish synagogue (closed on Friday noon and Saturday) and St Francis Church. You will have the opportunity to also see the Chinese fishing nets at the entrance to the harbor, and the mechanical method of catching fish by local fishermen in Fort Kochi.

Duration: 2 hours

    コチで1日しかないフリータイムを最大限楽しみたくて、このツアーに参加しました。 当日のガイド兼ドライバーのHARIPRASADさんは時間通りに迎えに来てくださいました。 アレッピーにて念願のハウスボートで優雅なひと時を過ごしながら、ケララの美味しいランチをいただきました。 その後はフォートコチ観光をしました。 Old Thoppumpady Harbor Bridge、Jew Town、Mattancherry Palace、St. Francis CSI Church、Dutch cemetery、Chinese Fishing Netsを訪れました。 その後、オプションツアーでケララのお祭りに連れて行ってもらいました。 St. Augustine Syro Malabar Churchに立ち寄ってから、メインのShree Gowreeswara Templeに行きました。 初めて見たケララのお祭りはたくさんのゾウや現地の皆さんが大活躍しており壮大で、とても良い経験ができました。 帰る前にHARIPRASADさんのお家に招待してくださり、手作りのスナックとミックスジュースでおもてなししてくださいました。 たった1日でしたが、私達にとってコチの思い出はとても楽しく充実したものになりました。 HARIPRASADさんにとても感謝しています。

    I spent a day looking around Cochin and if you like history, it’s an interesting place. Basically, Europeans discovered India when Vasco de Gama landed here in the 1400s, so you can visit the church where he was buried. There is a long history of Jewish settlement here as well and the synagogue and old town are well worth visiting. Also, Christianity entered India through Cochin via St. Thomas the apostle arriving here after the crucifixion of Jesus, so you can investigate that aspect of things in various places if you wish. There is a fort that was established by the Portuguese, but it’s closed on Fridays so I missed it. The Alleppey houseboat exercise was a disappointment for me. Basically, you get on a floating houseboat that sales a couple of miles downriver along with a couple of hundred other mugs and parks. There, you get to spend the night on a modestly equipped tub and eat very average food while putting up with the high humidity unless you stay in your room with the a/c on. Don’t think of swimming, the water’s polluted. Unless you are looking for a room where you can b@ng your girlfriend while the 2 man crew are not too far away, I’d give it a miss.

    False advertising by this vendor and felt cheated. Very surprised reliable sources like The Trip advisor does not check false claims of its promoted sites .From the trip description it seemed the boat trip started at Kochi , actually the vendor will drive you about 3 hours on busy roads to Alleppy ,which was a shocker. With a little kid it was difficult for us . We paid almost 26 K indian rupee for n a air-conditioned house boat. Right it the middle of the trip as the weather got warmer the crew did not switch on the AC, unless we paid additional 500 rupees for switching on the AC . That was a real cheap move . Overall we take back a bitter memory of a beautiful place. Don’t be scammed
