Day Cruise on the Keralan Backwaters, Kumarakom India, Kerala

Day Cruise on the Keralan Backwaters
  • Info
  • Holidays
  • Map

A great way to avoid the bunfight that overnight cruising on the Keralan backwaters can become, is to stay on land and do a day time cruise. Exploring on a smaller boat allows us to take you up the smaller canals and tributaries which feed off the lake, making for a far more peaceful and authentic experience. It has the added benefit of putting less pressure on local resources.  You’ll stop off in some of the villages along the way, where you can experience local life and the crafts that support it such as coir processing, fishing and toddy tapping.

You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively with you.
