One night Cruise
Day – 1
Our journey will start from Alappuzha-known as the Venice of the East. It was here that traders from across the seven seas came in search of black gold and souvenirs.
At 12.00 noon we plunge into a crystal maze of one of the greatest gifts of nature that god has bestowed upon us. As the boat glides silently forward through the largest vast expanse backwater body, The Vembanad Lake, you will drift into a world of peace and serenity. At this point, we will serve you the mouth watering local cuisine and you will agree that it is truly God's own country.
After a short siesta be prepared for the most fascinating journey through the panoramic view of the paddy fields admiring duck farming, watching divers diving for mussels via Mangalam, Chithira, R-block and C block with a cup of steaming tea/coffee in your hand.
On our way a stop at the St. Mary's Church at Champakulam is a must. One of the oldest churches in Kerala, the St. Mary's church is believed to be one of the seven established by St Thomas. You will see the 130 feet long snake racing boat here as they originally belong to this place.
