Home Stay In Kerala

Duration : 07 Nights / 08 Days
Places Covered: Cochin - Vagamon - Alleppey
India, since time immemorial, has been a destination for traders and shepherds, teachers and disciples, kings and saints. Many returned with India in their hearts and many became part of it and made India their house. It is the land where every visitor is considered a God and treated like one. Come travel back in time, staying not at run of the' mill hotels, but stay with the locals in their homes.

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the cities these homes are the essence of Kerala where you will experience firsthand the way of life, interact with the local people and share traditional home cooked meals with the families.

In the afternoon visit elephant Kraal (training center).

Day 02 : Cochin
Full day city tour of Cochin. Cochin is the natural harbour created by the famed underwater Malabar mud-banks whose quality ensures that the rougher the seas are outside the calmer the waters are within the Harbour. Vasco-de-Gama placed it on the world map. It has a Jewish synagogue, Portuguese churches, Mosques & Hindu temples, Mattancherry Palace etc. Watch the Chinese Fishing Nets.

A variety of Keralan delicacies and other Indian dishes are served. The spices and vegetables used are grown within the grounds of the estate and organically grown. The fresh filter coffee and tea served are the offerings of the estate's own plantations.

A truly wonderful way to spend your time on the banks of the backwaters of Kerala !
