Travel Cities (3): Backwaters, Jaipur, Kochi

Details

Serene backwaters. Thriving rubber plantations. Idyllic coastlines. Kerala is India at its most laidback and inviting. Join one of our much-loved Indian tour leaders to immerse yourself in the scenery and meet the local people. Along the way, you’ll stay on a backwaters houseboat, explore the old spice port of Kochi, share a meal with a family in Thekkady and spot wildlife in Periyar National Park. We finish by the sandy shores of the Arabian Sea – an idyllic ending to an unforgettable trip.

Highlights

  • Experience laidback Kerala with a guide who knows it better than anyone
  • Witness remnants of India’s colonial past in the historic spice port of Kochi
  • Meet the rubber tappers of Kanjirappally and share a Keralan meal with the family
  • Look for tiger tracks and spot monkeys on a nature walk in Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary
  • Cruise the backwaters and lakes on a traditional rice barge – a classic experience in South India!

Included in Price

  • The included meals are detailed on the day-to-day itinerary. Allow at least 1,650 rupees (approximately US$20) per day for lunch and dinner where these are not included. You can eat out very cheaply in India, but if you mainly eat at the more expensive restaurants, you will spend more than the suggested amount. In most towns, there is a good choice of restaurants and a mix of Indian and Western-style foods. If you are a vegetarian, India is probably one of the best destinations to visit. Tea and soft drinks are very cheap, while a large bottle of beer is approximately 500 rupees (US$6). Due to Kerala state laws, alcohol licenses are limited to one or two bars in each area and not all hotels are permitted to serve alcohol. The first day of every month and certain holidays in India are dry days, when no alcohol is permitted for sale. Mineral water is available in the bus in large containers, so please bring a bottle with you to refill. Please note, restaurant service can be quite slow.

  • All accommodation
