Luxurious houseboats, quaint frame, shimmering waters against the backdrop of an ancient culture, is probably how you would know and put Kochi and Alleppey into words.

As you glide through this rustic yet graceful Kerala backwaters, you feel like you are in a state of a dream as the time passes and you just stand there observing and admiring nature in its most unspoiled charm. And Kochi brings along with itself a mélange of history and natural beauty, something that you view from its array of colonial bungalows and verdant foliage flanking it.
