Day-wise plan
Every day runs on a private cab - the order and pace are yours to change.
1Day 1 - Trip begins at Cochin - Houseboat Cruise
- Met at Cochin, you drive to Alleppey and board the luxury houseboat around midday.
- Lunch is served aboard as you cast off into the Vembanad canals.
- The boat moors for the night among the paddy fields; all meals on board are included.
2Day 2 - Cliffs & Calm
- A sunrise cruise before you disembark, which is the quietest hour on the backwaters.
- Drive south to Varkala and check in to the clifftop wellness retreat, above the red cliffs.
- Dinner at the retreat and your first night by the sea.
3Day 3 - Spa & Sea
- A day of Ayurvedic spa rituals at the retreat.
- Between sessions, the cliff beach is a few minutes below — the path down is steep but short.
- Watch the sunset over the Arabian Sea from the cliff, then dinner and overnight.
4Day 4 - Trip ends at Trivandrum - Temple & Departure
- Visit the temple at Trivandrum on the way out; dress codes at the major temples are strict, so ask your driver before you go in.
- Transfer for your onward journey.
