Village Life

The backwaters of Alleppey are fringed by living villages where time moves to the rhythm of the oar and the harvest. A Village Life excursion takes you off the tourist map into Kerala's green hinterland — through narrow canals too small for houseboats, into the yards of coir weavers, past temple ponds where children splash in the golden hour, and into homes that have welcomed travellers with the same open-hearted hospitality for generations.
