3-Day Kerala Tour: Athirappilly Waterfalls & Alleppey Backwaters 3 Days & 2 Nights

Step into Kerala’s lush charm as you arrive at Cochin airport or railway station, where a warm welcome awaits. Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Athirappilly, a region famed for its breathtaking waterfalls and forested beauty. After a refreshing break, set out to explore the majestic Athirappilly Waterfall, where roaring waters tumble through the jungle. Walk across the iconic Hanging Bridge and visit the peaceful Vazhachal and Chapra Waterfalls, each offering a quiet escape into nature. As the day winds down, settle in for an overnight stay in Athirappilly, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the forest.

After a hearty breakfast, begin your scenic 140 km drive to Alleppey—about four hours through Kerala’s lush countryside. Once you arrive, step aboard your private houseboat and get ready to float through the peaceful backwaters of Alleppey, often called the ‘Venice of the East’. As the boat glides past palm-lined canals and quiet villages, relax and enjoy the views. Your onboard chef will treat you to tasty meals throughout the day—lunch, evening snacks, dinner, and breakfast—all served with warm hospitality. Spend the night surrounded by water and silence, letting Kerala’s gentle rhythm lull you into pure serenity.

After a delightful breakfast on your houseboat, it’s time to check out and head to the vibrant city of Cochin. If time allows, dive into the city’s rich heritage—wander through Fort Kochi’s colonial streets and peek into its cozy art galleries. Step into history at Mattancherry Palace and the Jewish Synagogue, each echoing centuries of culture. Watch the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets sway over the water and visit the historic St. Francis Church, one of India’s oldest European churches. As your journey wraps up, you’ll be transferred to Cochin’s airport or railway station, carrying home unforgettable memories of Kerala’s charm and warmth.
