A slow, short trip with no long drives: Kochi's heritage and Kathakali, then a lake-side resort in Kumarakom.
Pick-up from Kochi airport or railway station and check in. Late afternoon, walk the Fort Kochi waterfront to see the Chinese fishing nets being lowered at sunset, then watch a Kathakali performance at a cultural centre nearby.
A full day in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry: the Chinese fishing nets, St. Francis Church, Santa Cruz Basilica, the Dutch Palace murals and Jew Town's spice warehouses. In the evening, watch a Kathakali performance, including the make-up session beforehand.
Drive to Kumarakom and check in to a lake-side resort. Sunset shikara ride on Vembanad Lake.
Early walk in Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, then drive to Kochi for departure.
