Everything you need to know about booking and experiencing a traditional houseboat stay in Alleppey's serene backwaters.

Alleppey Houseboat Tour by Royal Indian Voyage | Kerala Backwaters Experience

Cruise through the serene backwaters of Kerala with Royal Indian Voyage, a premium tours and travels company offering handpicked houseboat experiences, luxury stays, and authentic cultural journeys.

🌴 The Magic of Alleppey

Alappuzha (Alleppey) is the heart of Kerala’s backwater tourism and is lovingly called the Venice of the East. Its intricate network of canals, lagoons, and palm-lined lakes offers travelers an intimate glimpse into traditional rural life in Kerala.

Boarding a Kettuvallam (traditional Kerala houseboat) transforms your holiday into a floating paradise. Drift past emerald paddy fields, coconut groves, and quiet village homes as the rhythm of the water sets the pace of your journey— a signature experience curated by Royal Indian Voyage.

🚤 Life on a Luxury Houseboat

Royal Indian Voyage houseboats combine traditional design with modern comfort, featuring air-conditioned bedrooms, private balconies, and ensuite bathrooms. An onboard chef prepares freshly cooked Kerala meals using local ingredients.

Wake up to a golden sunrise over the backwaters, enjoy a traditional breakfast of Puttu and Kadala Curry, and spend the day relaxing on the deck. Watch kingfishers dive for fish and local villagers glide past in canoes— moments that define the true essence of Kerala.

🌊 Kumarakom vs. Alleppey – Choosing Your Backwater Experience

While Alleppey is famous for its narrow canals, village life, and classic houseboat routes, Kumarakom offers a quieter and more expansive experience on the vast Vembanad Lake.

If you prefer luxury resorts and absolute tranquility, Kumarakom is ideal. For travelers seeking an authentic, immersive backwater cruise through bustling canals and local communities, Alleppey remains unmatched.

🧭 Essential Tips for Alleppey Houseboat Tours

  • Booking: Reserve your houseboat in advance during peak season (December to January).
  • Mosquito Protection: Carry insect repellent, especially for evenings.
  • Local Cuisine: Request Karimeen Pollichathu (Pearl Spot fish wrapped in banana leaf) for an authentic Kerala culinary experience.

📍 Why Choose Royal Indian Voyage for Kerala Backwaters?

Royal Indian Voyage specializes in luxury houseboat tours, honeymoon packages, and customized Kerala itineraries. Our Alleppey and Kumarakom experiences are carefully curated to offer comfort, authenticity, and unforgettable memories.
