Kerala Backwaters Cruise (4 days)

4 days duration

Imagine a luxurious cruise (cruise boat not house boat) through the picturesque and lush backwaters of Kerala. Picture a relaxing sunset viewed from a roof top deck amidst gentle lapping of water and a balmy breeze. Visualise elegant cabins with serene view of rice boats, village life and tropical greens. This is the best way to experience “God’s own country” in complete grandeur and style. As the cruise meanders through canals and lakes, unwind and rejuvenate in the peace and tranquillity of this photographer’s heaven. 

Experience a way of life unique to this region with this vessel’s expert sightseeing guides. Absorb the rich tradition of Kerala while classical dancers in beautiful costumes provide enchanting performances on board.
