Alleppey ⟳ Alleppey (Round Trip)

Discover the lesser-explored waterways of Kerala on this immersive 2-day, 1-night houseboat cruise that takes you through some of the most scenic and authentic backwater routes around Alleppey.

Your journey begins at Alleppey, the Venice of the East, where you'll board a traditional Kerala houseboat and receive a warm welcome with refreshing drinks. After a brief introduction to your floating home, the boat departs at noon, gliding into the serene Punchiri Thodu canal.

As you cruise through Erumbanam, watch the lush green landscape unfold with coconut palms swaying gently in the breeze. Arrive at the peaceful Vattekayal for a delicious traditional Kerala lunch prepared fresh by the onboard cook, featuring local specialties and fresh catch from the backwaters.

The afternoon takes you deeper into the backwater network through a series of picturesque canals. Navigate through the Muttethodu canal and Kainakeri canal, where narrow waterways bring you close to village homes and local life. Continue through Munnattumugham canal, watching fishermen cast their nets and children wave from the banks.

Cruise through Chennemkeri and the tranquil Kuttithodu canal as the golden evening light transforms the waterways into a photographer's paradise. As night falls, anchor at the serene Kuppapuram, where the stillness of the backwaters creates a perfect setting for stargazing and peaceful reflection.

The next morning, wake to the sounds of birds and enjoy a hearty breakfast onboard. Resume your cruise at 8:00 AM for a final morning journey through the backwaters, concluding at the famous Alleppey Punnamada Jetty at 9:45 AM.

This all-inclusive cruise features comfortable AC accommodation, all meals freshly prepared onboard, and an authentic experience of Kerala's legendary backwater lifestyle.
