Cochin plus stay on a Keralan Houseboat (6 nights From £ 262) Prices valid for trip conclusion by 29 Sep 2012.


For those who are looking for a region of natural scenic beauty and a visit to monuments of historical interest a trip the magnificent city of Cochin is ideal. This is an inter-connected set of islands, waterways and the mainland. It is a great base for backwaters boat trips, viewing a Katahkali performance (an amazing dance drama with facial movements) and many sights such as the Mattancherry Palace, the Jewish Synagogue. Overnight stay on a Keralan houseboat is a unique experience covering the backwaters through the narrow canals separated by small strips of land where coconut trees form arches.
