This morning, our driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you on a scenic drive to Athirapally and Vazhachal Waterfalls. These stunning cascades, often referred to as the โ€˜Niagara of India,โ€™ plunge from a height of 80 feet. The waters begin their journey gently from the high ranges, flowing down through lush gorges adorned with verdant forests. The soothing roar of the waterfalls fills the air, creating a serene and refreshing atmosphere. As you walk along the rocky pathways, you can admire the enchanting white spray of the falls, which looks almost magical. Enjoy the breathtaking views, capture memorable photographs, and soak in the pristine natural beauty. Later in the afternoon, drive back to Kochi. Upon arrival, check in at the hotel for an overnight stay.

After breakfast at the hotel, drive to Alappuzha, known for its traditional houseboat cruises through Keralaโ€™s backwaters. Check in to your houseboat around 12:00 PM and begin a relaxing cruise along tranquil canals and lagoons. Enjoy freshly prepared meals onboard as you pass paddy fields, village homes, and coconut-lined waterways, offering a glimpse into local life. By evening, the houseboat anchors in a quiet spot, allowing you to unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings. Overnight stay on the houseboat.

Enjoy your breakfast at the houseboat, later meet our driver and head back to Cochin airport for onward journey.
