About the Sunset Cruise
The Nileshwar sunset cruise is a two hour evening ride timed for the best light of the day. You board at 4:30 PM, glide out onto the Valiyaparamba backwaters and watch the sky turn gold and orange behind the coconut palms before returning at 6:30 PM.
Guests often tell us this is the most photographed part of their North Kerala trip. It suits families, friends and couples who want a memorable evening without an overnight stay.
