See real Kerala, through the backwaters.
You might have seen Kerala before, but exploring this place, paddling through its backwaters is something else. All you can see is gorgeous waterways lined with coconut trees and palms, clear skies and some rich historical sites along the way.

You will spend two days immersed in nature, culture and heritage, floating on the backwaters. Of course, we’ll be resting at night to revive our energies, and some folk music and cultural activities are planned to pump you up.
