Backwater life

A slow day on Vaikom’s village waterways

A boat moves under a canopy of green. On the bank, a village craft demonstration brings the morning ashore. This is the rhythm of Arafath’s full-day Vaikom experience.

Begin on the water

Hotel pickup is between 8:30 and 8:45 AM. The tour includes a three-hour bamboo boat ride through Vaikom’s village backwaters, with time to notice the quieter scenes along the banks.

A village day, by hand

The programme includes coir rope making, mat weaving, coconut leaf weaving for thatched roofing and a handmade cloth weaving centre visit. These activities form part of the day rather than separate tours.

Lunch, then the smaller canals

A traditional Kerala lunch is included. Afterwards, a 45-minute small canal ride continues the backwater experience. Hotel drop-off is between 4:00 and 4:30 PM.

Arrange your visit

The tour operates daily at ₹1,900 per person. Send the team your preferred date, guest count and hotel name to confirm availability and pickup.
