Alleppey backwater cruise


What is truly magical about a houseboat cruise along the backwaters is the breathtaking view of the pristine and otherwise inaccessible aspects of rural Kerala that it offers. The houseboats provide all the creature comforts of a good hotel including furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a balcony for angling. Meals are supplemented with fresh fish from the backwaters and cooked on board. You can also include other backwater experiences on a longer houseboat stay like stopping off at a wayside ‘Toddy’ shop to sample palm liquor most famous in Kerala, indulge in fishing for backwater fish, go for canoe excursions of the narrower backwater channels, visit coir making units or stop off to visit the many quaint churches and temples along the backwaters.
