Kumbalangi Village Immersion Experience Package

If you’re looking for an authentic slice of Kerala life, the Kumbalanghi Village Tour is an experience you shouldn’t miss. Tucked away amidst serene backwaters and lush greenery, this village offers a beautiful escape from the usual tourist rush.

What made the experience even more memorable was our guide, Harshad. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about his village, he made sure we didn’t just see Kumbalanghi—but truly understand it. From explaining how every part of the coconut tree is used, to sharing local stories and traditions, he added so much depth to the tour.

The canoe ride through the calm backwaters was incredibly peaceful, and watching the Chinese fishing nets in action was fascinating. You also get to witness the simplicity and sustainability of daily life here, which is both humbling and inspiring.

The tour ends on a high note with a delicious traditional meal that perfectly captures the local flavors.

Overall, this isn’t just a tour - it’s a meaningful cultural experience. And with Harshad as your guide, it becomes even more special.

We can truly say this tour was outstanding. The place is absolutely breathtaking and worth every minute. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and engaging, making the whole experience even more special. Everyone we met was wonderful and welcoming, which added to the charm of the trip. And the food — simply exceptional, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough; it’s an experience you will genuinely treasure.”

Located right on the river bank the restaurant alone is superb last days of the Raj colonial-style. The food was varied, generous, and delicious (chicken, prawn, and fish curries; bean curd dhal, cauliflower & green peppers; rice, and rice bread; local bananas, fresh pineapple, and... I may have forgotten the rest) - a real feast!

The tour of the village was fascinating. Our guide, William, was a delight: knowledgeable and entertaining and nothing was too much trouble for him. We watch fishing with nets; drank young coconut water, coconut milk and ate coconut flesh; watched local crafts with coconut leaves and coir - all together a really most enjoyable experience.

Amazing experience, so many skills on show and the care attention shown to us was top class. On top of which we had a fantastic lunch using locally grown products , best tour ever and not to be missed in terms of quality and interest.

Everything was truly enchanting! A great opportunity to see traditional crafts and fishing, as well as the many uses of coconut. Everyone was very kind and helpful; we learned so much! Lunch was excellent; we were truly satisfied! Highly recommended by Claudia and Francesca!

Me and my wife took the village tour conducted at Kalanchery, kumbalangi conducted by Mr. Martin and was guided by Mr. William. The behaviour of the host and guide and rest of the staff were very courteous. Starting from boat ride till the lunch at very end we thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. The simplicity of the people were first thing to notice. The tour have us insight into what is missing in our life the very basic things that our ancestors used to have. Lunch was sumptuous and very tasty. Enjoyed every item. Overall I would strongly recommend the village tour of kumbalangi. Its an experience that you would not like to miss.

Kumbalanghi Village in Ernakulam is a wonderful place to experience Kerala's rich culture and traditions.
