The backwaters of Cochin are among the most popular in Kerala, a state noted for its backwaters as a whole. Many trips across the state’s backwaters start and end in Cochin. Alleppey and Kollam are the two most popular backwater cruise destinations from Cochin.

A stretch of picturesque and lovely islands, lagoons, small creeks, and swinging coconut palm trees, Kochi is among the best backwater destinations in Kerala. A cruise on the local ferries through the winding waterways to several quaint spots like the coconut plantations and the coir villages are the main tourist attractions of Kochi. It is famous as the “Queen of the Arabian Sea” and forms a group of islands on Lake Vembanad. These open out into the Arabian Sea to create one of the finest natural harbors in the world.
