Kochi Backwater Village & Kumbalangi Day Trip

Kochi

Kumbalangi is a fishing and farming village on the islands east of Kochi — the first village in India to be developed as a model tourism village, and still a working one. The day goes by canoe through the canals between the prawn farms, with stops at a coir-making workshop, a clam-shell processing yard and a toddy tapper’s grove, and lunch cooked in a village home. Nothing staged and nothing much to buy.
