Aranmula
As
you take a cruise do make it a point to go to Changanacherry and from there
to Aranmula near Kottayam. You can enroll at the art village, Vijnana kala Vedi
center, to learn woodcarving, dance, martial arts like Kalaraipayattu, and traditional
medicine. You can fashion your own course though one month's training is preferred.
You can take in an authentic all-night Kathakali performance at Thiruvalla.
There are daily cruises from the Alleppey Tourist Development Corporation on
alternate days. Many hotels in Komala Road Allapuzha book these. Cruises some
of them by private operators start at 10.30 a.m. and reach by 6.30 p.m. The
two stops are a midday lunch stop and a brief tea stop at Ayirmthengu or the
coir village a mandatory stop
