Itineraries

The duration of your backwater experience truly depends on how much time you’d like to spend exploring this unique region. While the construction of new bridges connecting various islands has limited houseboat access to some remote areas, there are still plenty of scenic and culturally rich routes that offer immersive multi-day itineraries.

Some of our guests have spent up to four days on board a houseboat, cruising through lesser-known canals, anchoring at different villages each day, and gaining a deeper understanding of the backwater lifestyle. These extended journeys can include visits to centuries-old churches and temples, canoe rides through narrow village canals, early morning kayaking, village walks through the countryside, and even experiencing toddy tapping and tasting firsthand.

In essence, the Kerala backwaters offer a slow-paced, floating vacation—an opportunity to unwind while traveling through a serene water-world unlike any other.
