Itinerary
- 1Kumbalangi is a model fishing village and tourism spot located in the south-west of Kochi and it is surrounded by the backwaters of Vembanad lake. The major attraction of Kumbalangi are the fishing activities and the Chinese fishing nets cover the whole island. The land here is separated from the water by a wide array of mangroves and this provides a breeding ground for many small fish as well as prawns and oysters. Kumbalangi offers you an inside peek into the rural life of the villagers and it is a must see destination as it has been transformed to an eco-tourism village, making it a first of its kind in the country. Enjoy the engaging activities of the villagers as they prepare coconut milk punch, weave rugs, catch crabs and fish, and also process shellfish and coconut fibres. You can also witness some unique sights such as ola medayal (making roof coverings using special coconut leaves) and making fishing nets. You will have a delicious lunch with local specialties in an open-air area where you can suck in the cool air. Kumbalangi tour village would be incomplete without a Kolkali performance, a local traditional dance in which the dancers move in a circle. You will return back to the Port after a refreshing tour in Kumbalangi.

- yurit6500 contributionsWonderful Experienceコチで1日しかないフリータイムを最大限楽しみたくて、このツアーに参加しました。 当日のガイド兼ドライバーのHARIPRASADさんは時間通りに迎えに来てくださいました。 アレッピーにて念願のハウスボートで優雅なひと時を過ごしながら、ケララの美味しいランチをいただきました。 その後はフォートコチ観光をしました。 Old Thoppumpady Harbor Bridge、Jew Town、Mattancherry Palace、St. Francis CSI Church、Dutch cemetery、Chinese Fishing Netsを訪れました。 その後、オプションツアーでケララのお祭りに連れて行ってもらいました。 St. Augustine Syro Malabar Churchに立ち寄ってから、メインのShree Gowreeswara Templeに行きました。 初めて見たケララのお祭りはたくさんのゾウや現地の皆さんが大活躍しており壮大で、とても良い経験ができました。 帰る前にHARIPRASADさんのお家に招待してくださり、手作りのスナックとミックスジュースでおもてなししてくださいました。 たった1日でしたが、私達にとってコチの思い出はとても楽しく充実したものになりました。 HARIPRASADさんにとても感謝しています。Written March 3, 2024

It was my first visit to Kerala and the enriching and soothing emotion the trip felt in my can not be described in literal words. The guide and the staff were very friendly and always ready to assist me no matter what. The food was flavorful, mouth-watering, and delicious.

- Smoller1230 contributionsBoat Experience is Over RatedI spent a day looking around Cochin and if you like history, it’s an interesting place. Basically, Europeans discovered India when Vasco de Gama landed here in the 1400s, so you can visit the church where he was buried. There is a long history of Jewish settlement here as well and the synagogue and old town are well worth visiting. Also, Christianity entered India through Cochin via St. Thomas the apostle arriving here after the crucifixion of Jesus, so you can investigate that aspect of things in various places if you wish. There is a fort that was established by the Portuguese, but it’s closed on Fridays so I missed it. The Alleppey houseboat exercise was a disappointment for me. Basically, you get on a floating houseboat that sales a couple of miles downriver along with a couple of hundred other mugs and parks. There, you get to spend the night on a modestly equipped tub and eat very average food while putting up with the high humidity unless you stay in your room with the a/c on. Don’t think of swimming, the water’s polluted. Unless you are looking for a room where you can b@ng your girlfriend while the 2 man crew are not too far away, I’d give it a miss.Written March 2, 2023

- raj00520 contributionsDon’t be scammedFalse advertising by this vendor and felt cheated. Very surprised reliable sources like The Trip advisor does not check false claims of its promoted sites .From the trip description it seemed the boat trip started at Kochi , actually the vendor will drive you about 3 hours on busy roads to Alleppy ,which was a shocker. With a little kid it was difficult for us . We paid almost 26 K indian rupee for n a air-conditioned house boat. Right it the middle of the trip as the weather got warmer the crew did not switch on the AC, unless we paid additional 500 rupees for switching on the AC . That was a real cheap move . Overall we take back a bitter memory of a beautiful place. Don’t be scammedWritten January 11, 2023
- L6751BJandrews0 contributionsGreat Tour Operator for Kerala (India)Just back from a magical three weeks touring Mysore and Kerala with my wife. On recommendation we got Rajesh Thomas of Globes Travel to organise our entire visit which included city tours (Mysore and Cochin), mountain stays at tea and coffee plantations, a jungle tree house, a night on a traditional houseboat on the backwaters, two homestays, a train ride, an internal flight and some luxury time at two five-star hotels on the Vembanad lake (Coconut Lagoon) and on the Arabian Sea (Marari Beach). Experience of a lifetime with a fantastic private driver (Vinsun) and expert guides. Rajesh checked on us almost daily and organised a surprise candlelit dinner at the beach resort. He was very flexible and made changes we requested as we went along. While you might consider it a risk to work directly with an Indian travel firm rather than through a UK agent our experience was wholly positive (and far more economical). The trip was delayed by Covid and Rajesh refunded our deposit without question and then rebooked us when India opened up again. Highly recommended. We organised our own flights from/to the UK with BA.Written November 21, 2022

Kumbalangi is a quiet, leafy island village which is full of rural tourism activities. People mostley visit the island to see Chinese fishing nets, explore its mangrove forests, and to have an experience of traditional Keralan village life. Boat trips from Kallenchery cruise along the surrounding backwaters was so amazing. Local artisans and boatmen offer craft demonstrations and fishing trips, while simple, no-frills eateries serve seafood and local meals.
