Malabar Kochi Backwaters
Fort Kochi to the backwaters and back.
About This Tour
The gentlest, most soulful of our Kerala rides — a four-day coastal cruise built around Fort Kochi and the Malabar backwaters. We wander the old spice-trade port, ride south to Alleppey for a night aboard a traditional houseboat, then loop the palm-lined coast through Marari and Cherai. No altitude, no rough roads — just backwaters, beaches, seafood, and the slow rhythm of coastal Kerala.
Highlights
- Colonial Fort Kochi and the Chinese fishing nets
- A night aboard an Alleppey houseboat
- The palm-lined beaches of Marari and Cherai
- Easy, beginner-friendly coastal riding

An easy, beautiful few days. Fort Kochi, a night on the houseboat, and quiet coastal roads. Good choice if you want the sea without hard riding.
