Frequently asked questions
What happens when we arrive in Kerala?
A driver meets you at Kochi airport, the railway station, or your hotel. If you have asked for a freshen-up, we hold a room and breakfast before the road journey starts, and the day's plan is confirmed before you leave the city.
Can the houseboat category be changed?
Yes. Deluxe, premium, and luxury boats on the Alleppey overnight can be swapped while the cruise date is still open. The bedroom count follows the guests travelling with you.
Are park tickets included?
Private transfers, the houseboat night, and the hotels on the route are part of the package. Sanctuary boats, Eravikulam entry, and cultural shows are booked separately because those counters price them per person.
Can this route be shortened?
Use the search above for a 4 day Munnar and Alleppey break, or send your flight times in the callback form and we will drop a night.
