Day-by-day itinerary
Arrive Cochin · board your houseboat at Alleppey — Our driver meets you at Cochin International Airport and drives you to Alleppey (about 85 km, 2–2.5 hours). Board your private houseboat around noon, with a welcome drink, and have lunch on board as you cruise slowly through palm-lined canals and paddy fields towards Vembanad Lake. The houseboat anchors around sunset, as local rules require, and the crew cooks dinner on board. A good first day…

Wellness day · yoga, treatments and rest — A day at the resort. Start with the morning yoga session if the resort offers one, followed by breakfast. Late morning is the usual time for Ayurvedic treatments such as Abhyangam (full-body oil massage) or Shirodhara (warm oil poured on the forehead), if you have chosen a programme. Rest in the afternoon, walk along the beach as the heat drops, and join the evening meditation or relaxation…
Wellness day · evening Kathakali — Another unhurried day of yoga, treatments and rest at the resort. In the evening, watch the included Kathakali performance, the classical dance-drama of Kerala, at a venue in Kovalam or Thiruvananthapuram (about 1–1.5 hours, transfer included). If you arrive early, you can watch the artists apply their elaborate make-up.
Padmanabhaswamy Temple · afternoon at the resort — After the morning yoga session and breakfast, drive about 30 minutes to Thiruvananthapuram for darshan at Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Only Hindus may enter, and the dress code is strict: men wear a mundu or dhoti and no shirt; women wear a saree, or a long skirt with a blouse. Phones are not allowed inside. Return to the resort for lunch, your treatment and a quiet afternoon.
Final wellness day · beach sunset — A last full day at the resort for yoga, your final treatment and rest. Ask the doctor for simple diet and lifestyle advice to take home. In the evening, walk to Lighthouse Beach for the sunset; the Vizhinjam lighthouse is open to climb on most afternoons (small ticket, paid locally).
Departure from Trivandrum airport — After breakfast, check out and transfer to Trivandrum International Airport, about 30 minutes, reaching about 2 hours before a domestic flight.

Good to know
Ayurvedic treatment programmes work best over 7–14 days; this trip gives you about 4 full days. Treatments are prescribed after a consultation, and their cost depends on what the doctor recommends.
Tell the doctor about any medical conditions, medicines or pregnancy. Some treatments are not given during menstruation, fever or right after a heavy meal.
During treatment you are usually advised to eat light vegetarian food, avoid alcohol and avoid strong sun and sea swimming soon after oil treatments.
Kovalam is warm and humid all year. Pack loose cotton clothes; resorts usually provide treatment wear.
The sea at Kovalam can be rough, especially from May to August. Swim only between the lifeguard flags.
Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple admits Hindus only and has a strict dress code; mundus can be hired near the gate.
Questions travellers ask
Are the Ayurveda treatments included?
The welcome Ayurvedic massage is included. A full treatment programme is prescribed by the resort doctor after a consultation and charged separately. Tell us your goal (rest, back pain, detox and so on) and we will get the resort's programme rates before you book.
Are yoga and meditation sessions included?
We choose an Ayurveda resort that runs daily yoga and meditation sessions for its guests. Please check the resort details in your quote, as session timings and any charges vary by resort.
Is the food vegetarian?
Ayurveda resorts serve mostly vegetarian, lightly spiced food, often planned by the doctor for your body type. The houseboat cook can make vegetarian meals too.
Is this suitable for elderly parents?
Yes, for people in reasonable health. Many treatments help joint stiffness and sleep, but share any heart, blood pressure or diabetes conditions with us and the doctor first.
Does the price include flights?
No. The trip starts at Kochi and ends at Trivandrum. We can book flights from Vijayawada or Hyderabad separately and send you a combined quote.
