The Alleppey houseboat experience is one of India's most iconic travel activities — spending a night on a traditional kettuvallam (rice barge) as it glides through Kerala's enchanting backwaters. These houseboats, once used to transport rice and spices, have been beautifully converted with bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, and open decks. An onboard chef prepares fresh Kerala meals — fish curry, appam, karimeen fry — using ingredients bought from waterside vendors. The cruise passes through narrow palm-fringed canals, past rice paddies, toddy tappers climbing coconut trees, children waving from shores, and Chinese fishing nets silhouetted against the sunset.
What makes this place special
The most magical moments are in the narrow, palm-canopied canals where the houseboat barely fits — village life unfolds at arm's reach, with fishermen, farmers, and schoolchildren going about their day.

As the houseboat enters the vast Vembanad Lake in the evening, the sunset paints the water in gold and crimson — a quintessential Kerala moment best enjoyed from the upper deck.
