Spice Coast Cruises

Vembanad

Go with the flow

The Spice Coast Cruises are centered around the 90km expanse of Vembanad Lake.

It is the large inland lake on the backwaters of Kerala with a unique (but fragile) ecosystem unlike any other water body in the world. The lake is home to many species of fauna and flora, a lot of which can be spotted on the cruise. It is also home to thousands of humans who live along its edges and are sustained by it in numerous ways.

Sailing serenitySail down the stream-lined aisles of the spectacular Kerala backwaters filled with serenity and greenery. Whether you’re on a Kettuvallom (houseboat) or on a canoe, you’ll just enjoy the experience.

Old is still youngThe old-time charm of life here is still intact, despite tourism ushering in a resort-culture to this region. So to say, life is still stuck in its old ways and moves in its own slow romantic pace.

The good catchOften, the sunrise here is accompanied by picturesque scenes of fishermen trying to cast their nets to get the catch of the day, in the backwaters.

Water and waysQuaint canoes are the means of commute for people living in the villages of these backwaters. That’s really what they use, to transport themselves to the other side of the lake, every day.

Venice of this sideAlleppey’s scenic waterways will remind you of the something similar in another part of the world. It’s no surprise that it has earned for itself, the sobriquet of ‘Venice of the East’.
