River Cruises in Kochi

Village Backwater Punting Boat Cruise from Kochi

Peaceful, calm boat journey truly amidst nature.

This was a delightful experience. It did not feel like a commercial tour but more like a friend was showing a few of us around their area, providing us with all sorts of interesting facts about the neighbourhood. We were a group of 8 including our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Ms Gowri. We traveled in a covered boat for the first part of our journey, had lunch, and the travelled in an open boat for the second part but through much narrower canal way. Ms Gowri showed us different leaves and spices along the way. The boat rides were peaceful and we glided along quiet leave and tree lined water pathways. At the end of the trip, we were sitting at the porch of a house, having tea and vadais, like we were guests at their home. It does not get better than this.

4 Day Adventure Kerala Tour Package Cochin Munnar Thekkady

Four Days That Felt Much Bigger Than Four Days

We booked this four-day Kerala tour because our time was limited, but we still wanted to see more than just one destination. It ended up being a surprisingly complete little trip. Munnar was easily one of the highlights for us. The mountain roads, tea-covered hills and cooler weather were a great change from Kochi. Thekkady had a completely different feel again, with more greenery, spice-growing areas and a quieter atmosphere. What made the trip work so well was the private vehicle. We never felt stuck to a large group schedule, and we could stop when we spotted a good view or simply needed a break. Our driver was friendly, punctual and made the road journeys very comfortable. Troper Tours kept the arrangements simple and well coordinated, so there was very little for us to worry about once the tour started. If you only have a few days in Kerala and want a Kerala tour package that combines hills, nature and local experiences, this route is a great choice. Short trip, but definitely not short on memories.

Half-Day Eco Punting and Village Backwater Cruise from Cochin

Great punting trip in Vaikom

Excellent outing to Vaikom with Stanley Wilson Tours. Shaji was a great driver getting there was very smooth. Gowri was a great guide on the punting and canoe- very knowledgable and personable. The setting was very tranquil, especially in the backwater, the punting instead of motoring made it even more so. Would recommend to all!
