Created 20 December 2024
Marari Beach
Visit Marari Beach and interact with locals. Their recommendations are gold.
Alleppey Houseboats
Cultural show in the evening after a day exploring Alleppey Houseboats.
Pathiramanal Island
Day trip to Pathiramanal Island. Pack snacks and water — facilities are limited.
Kuttanad Paddy Fields
Shopping and souvenirs near Kuttanad Paddy Fields. Bargain hard at the local markets.
Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary
Last day — revisit Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary for anything you missed, then head to the station.
Marari Beach
Morning yoga session, then head to Marari Beach. Return for a relaxed evening.
