Places to Visit in Alleppey Houseboat

Experience the bewitching beauty of the Kerala Backwaters on a houseboat cruise! It’s an experience not to be missed in your lifetime. The Vembanad or Ashtamudi or Kuttanad backwaters of Kerala are the most visited tourist destinations of Kerala.

Houseboats are generally Kettuvallams or Rice Boats which were used to transport rice and commodities in the earlier days. They are also called boats with knots as coir ropes tied in knots hold the entire structure of the boat together. The boats have many more amenities than you imagine – hot water, generators, great Kerala cuisine, comfortable beds, multiple bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen & immaculate service.

As you float along the cool tranquil backwaters through the canals and lagoons, you can experience an unusual approach to the Kerala way of life.

Here are some things you can experience on a Kerala premium houseboat cruise:

Sight-seeing

Eat fresh seafood

Fresh seafood in your platter is one of the best advantages of being on the houseboat! While cruising through the backwaters, you can get good Kerala fish delicacies of fish, Crab & Prawns made by the cook in the houseboat.

Observe village life in Kerala

As you drift on the lake, the boat may stop at a small toddy shop where we could buy local snacks like tapioca, fish curry, Karimeen fry and obviously, toddy! You can get a glimpse of the local life of Kerala, people farming on the paddy fields, fishing, coir making and more.
