Backwater Holiday Package at Taj Garden Retreat Kumarakom (3 Nights)- Itinerary
Day 1
Trip to Kumarakom - Stay in Taj Garden Retreat
Kumarakom is your destination after arrival at Cochin Airport. The driver will accompany you to this tropical paradise of cool, azure water edged with coconut palms and dotted with enchanting thatched houseboats. It is easy to see why this intoxicating location had a spellbinding effect on the English missionary, Henry Baker, in whose home you will be staying.
Baker’s Bungalow is now known as the Taj Garden Retreat but locally, it is called, ‘little jewel of Kumarakom’. The backdrop of this colonial villa has been upgraded to create luxury suites and charming rustic cottages with accommodation for every requirement. Enjoy nature and nurture, great cuisine and the great outdoors or relax away the time doing very little, slowly.
