Take a relaxing trip through the pristine Kerala backwaters and discover the rich culture, serene lagoons, and quiet waterways that give you a glimpse of the tropical haven.
Kerala is an enchanting land of myriads of coconut trees and unbeatable tradition, boasting an extensive network of water channels.
These waterways have served as important pathways for trade and coastal fishing for centuries. The sunset on Vembanad is simply breathtaking. Stroll through the serene Ashtamudi, Vembanad, Punnamada, and Kallada waterways—waterfront enclaves that give you a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of City life.
The coastline has always been a gathering spot for fishermen, merchants, canoers, and travelers where daily life and tradition merge.
The wide, broad lakes have become a hub for tourism and leisure activities. Thank God for the opportunity to witness misty dawns and bright sunsets, sleep on floating homes (kettuvallams), watch riverside life on the banks, visit tiny hamlets and colorful bazaars, and watch events such as the Nehru Trophy Boat Race and temple festivals.
Discover the spirit of the coast. Legendary tides combined with luxurious views and friendly people make a perfect combination.
Sail through Alleppey’s green palm-lined canals, visit Kochi's islands of historical ports, and relax in Kollam’s stunning, peaceful lakes.
Floating Retreats01Alleppey is located alongside the beautiful Laccadive Sea in Kerala and is not just another pretty place to visit. It is also where the life of India's backwaters can be seen at its best, where entire communities live and work in the residential canals.
Kerala's Entry Point02Kochi, also known as Cochin, is situated on the historic trade routes of the Malabar Coast. The port is not only an entry point into Kerala but rather a museum of migrations. For 600 years, the waters belonged to the Arabs, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch, and British. Every nation has made its contribution to the culture of Kochi (or the “Queen of the Arabian Sea”), which can be observed today from its architectural masterpieces, cuisine, and traditions.
The Lakefront Haven03Long before modern ports revolutionised international trade, Kollam - then known to Arab, Chinese and Roman merchants as Quilon - served as an important southern gateway for India’s spice routes. Ships crossed the Arabian Sea to trade gold, silk, and pottery for black pepper, cardamom, and aromatic timber harvested from the Western Ghats.
