Tour of the city of Kochi and the Backwaters of Kerala
Galerie Photos
On the way to the lagoon, enjoy a panoramic tour of the city of Kochi. Visit St. Francis Church that was once home of the tomb of Vasco da Gama. Photo op at the famous fishing ports known to be especially picturesque, then continue on towards this labyrinth of waterways, lakes, and lagoons called Backwaters. We’ll board elegant, thatch-roofed wooden boats and enjoy a lunch consisting of local specialties. We’ll then go deeper into a web of intermingled canals lined with colorful houses. Laughing children bring life to the riverbanks, while their mothers wash clothing by hand in the waters. Between luxurious vegetation, rice fields, and coconut trees, the fishermen bustle to pull in their nets.
