Vaikom is a quaint, old village lying on the western side of the Kottayam district in Kerala. After you reach the Cochin Port, you will be greeted by our representatives and you begin a comfortable journey to this picturesque village. Buckle up to rejuvenate yourself with a ride on a small canoe through the narrow canals.

As you wade in, admire the rustic beauty of the village enhanced by the serenity and the nature sounds. Also, chance upon the quiet and easy-going lifestyle of the villagers as they get their hands on daily activities along the canals. Take a stroll amidst their humble homes and as you reach the Khadi Weaving Centre, you will witness the combined effort of the villagers in producing hand-spun and handwoven clothes out of various yarns like cotton, silk, or wool. Khadi, known for its lightweight nature, is a very popular handloom during the hot weathers.

You will be amazed by the wonders created by the ladies as they weave coir ropes out of dried coconut husks and straw mats from wild pineapple leaves. Visit the local potters as they engage in the art of making wide varieties of pots and vases from clay. As these are the important ways of earning their livelihood, you will also have the rare opportunity of purchasing these local goods as a souvenir. Get a taste of the Indian rural culture as you are welcome to interact with the family members inside a local house in the village. After a lip smacking traditional Kerala lunch, you can wander around the area as long as time permits and later on, you will head back to the port for your next shore excursions.
