Tourbeschreibung von CochinMagic:
BACKWATERS VILLAGE EXPLORATION BY HAND-PUNTED CANOE
This is a visit to a traditional village about 30 kms south of Cochin. Since there are
no industries here, the village is free from all types of pollution. The main
occupation of the villagers is making ropes with coconut fiber, mat weaving with
leaves of wild-pineapple, pottery, traditional coconut processing, fishing, farming,
etc. On this tour, we explore the village with a guide, by boat (small hand-punted
canoe) and on foot.
Pickup from Cochin docks at 9:00 A.M.
Transfer to nearby village (1 hr)
You will be received at a traditional Kerala house
After refreshments, take a small boat (hand-punted) and go through narrow canals.
There are trees lining both sides of the canals, providing cool cover. This is a great
opportunity to witness local life on the river banks.
Visit coconut farms, coir villages, spices and herbal farms. Learn about prawn
fishing and paddy cultivation, see typical village activities. The guide will
familiarize you with agricultural seasons, practices, local crafts and festivals and
the daily life in this part of Kerala.
After the cruise, a traditional Sadya will be served. Sadya is a multi-course lunch
served during festivals and Hindu weddings. It is served on banana leaves with
different curries like dhal (lentils), pappad, ghee, sambar, rasam, kalan,
buttermilk, avial, thoran, olan, pachady, kichady, pickles and fries (chips),
banana, payasam (sweet pudding) etc. We serve this Sadya to our guests to
experience the Kerala cuisine in its original form.
