Highlights: Cruise the backwaters; Overnight on a houseboat; Stunning nature
The relaxation can certainly continue at the Coconut Lagoon resort which sits amidst the alluring backwaters of Kumarakom. Here you can experience the network of lagoons and canals at their finest with a cruise to watch the sun go down over beautiful Lake Vembanad, and take your pick from mediative exploits such as yoga, bird watching and the indigenous martial art Kalarippayattu. Guests can also experience cultural activities including a cooking demonstration and a guided visit to the spectacular butterfly garden.
Highlights: Watch traditional Keralan dancing; sunset walking tour
On your final day, you’ll be at leisure to explore Kochi. Be sure to see its famous Chinese fishing nets and in the evening, take in some traditional dances such as Kathakali and Kalarippayat, before enjoying a comfortable night at the Eighth Bastion before your departure.
