Houseboats & Hotels in Alleppey – The Ultimate Backwater Experience

Alleppey (officially Alappuzha) is one of Kerala’s most iconic travel destinations — famous for its scenic backwaters, palm-fringed canals, lush paddy fields, historic temples, and coastal beauty.

Houseboat Stays – Drift Through Kerala’s Backwaters

The highlight of any trip to Alleppey is undoubtedly the houseboat experience — a peaceful cruise through the serene backwaters that feels like floating through nature itself. These traditional boats (locally known as kettuvallams) have been transformed into comfortable floating retreats with modern amenities.
