During break fast, you would be made aware of the sightseeing tour. You would be going to Trivandrum to watch the great heritage of the city. In Trivandrum city, there are many things to watch. We would start with

Day 4 : Kovalam

The day again starts with Yoga session which is followed by an Ayurvedic massage. Today, we have thought of some thing different. We would take you to nearest village possible. A day in traditional Kerala home would definitely make your tour exciting.

As said “Village is where India reside” This would give you a perfect chance to know Kerala India better. The villages in Kerala are well kept and the people here are equally well mannered. Being the most literate state of the country, you would not find any difficulty in communicating.

Since you will be their guest, they would serve you with tastiest of local dishes. Sambhar, Dosa, Vada, Idli are to name few. You will have no dining table and would be asked to sit on a floor and your food will be served on a Banana leaf.

After spending few hours in the village we would take you to another Kerala delight- Backwaters. We have chosen Thiruvallam backwaters for you. The time you will spend here will be the most memorable. Kerala backwaters are known for their resplendent beauty. While sailing on this backwater, you can glimpse into their world which resides at its shore. There are number of villages which are on the banks of these backwaters.

A man washing his clothes, children jumping in water or swan floating, they all form an integral part of Kerala backwaters. On Ketuvallam, the traditional houseboats, everything appears pristine and beautiful. No doubt, the day will be quite taxing for you so we would like you to spend your night in Kettuvallams.

Day 5 : Depart Kovalam – Trivandrum

This is the last day of your stay. You will be served with breakfast and our representative will drop you on Trivandrum airport.
