Sri Lanka, known as ‘The Pearl of the Orient’ and ‘Resplendent Isle’, offers endless beaches, timeless ruins, welcoming people, and flavourful food, making it an irresistible destination. From the lush landscapes cradling ancient ruins to bustling modern cities and serene coasts, the island is a happy, unexpected surprise that delights all the senses.
Combining Sri Lanka with the multicultural city Cochin is the perfect start before starting our exploration on the Kerala Backwaters cruise. A destination which National Geographic had called the Green Venice of the East. A seven nights Kerala Backwaters Cruising experience through these pristine waterways, deeply experiencing the Emerald Waterways. Sailing through the lakes, lagoons,
rivers, and canals is a very experiential cruise as you see the beautiful living cultures on the backwaters through narrow canals, along the coastline and through villages and townships dotted with temples, churches, mosques, market places, wooden boat building boatyards, art schools, coir makers and a lot more. Witness the local martial arts that gave birth to Karate, temple dance art schools in villages, Ayurveda and canoe rides through bird sanctuaries and sailing through very narrow canals.
