Backwater Village Experience

Kumarakom

Glide through the serene backwaters on a traditional country boat and discover villages that can often only be reached by water. Along the way you stop at small communities to see coir rope being made, toddy tapping, lime shell collection and traditional fishing techniques. There is ample time to watch everyday life unfold along the canals and to chat with local families.

A simple home‑cooked lunch in a village home is usually the highlight of the experience, with dishes prepared using fresh local ingredients. This is a gentle, unhurried way to understand the backwater lifestyle beyond the main tourist routes.

This experience can be tailored to your wider itinerary and combined with other activities in the region. Our team will be happy to advise on timings, logistics and suitability for your party.
