Staying in Alleppey Houseboats is a must-visit, magical experience on traditional wooden boats called ‘Kettuvallams’. These boats were originally used to transport rice and spices back 100 years. Legend says that the first houseboat conversion happened when a British tourist convinced a local boat owner to modify his vessel for overnight stays, unknowingly starting a tourism revolution in the region.
Today, Alleppey Houseboat Stay has become the perfect way to experience Kerala's backwater life. Picture yourself gliding through narrow canals, watching local life unfold along the shores - fishermen casting their nets, children waving from their homes, and women washing clothes by the waterside. Our Kerala Tour Packages feature these floating homes as their star attraction and for good reason. The houseboats, ranging from simple to luxury versions, come equipped with bedrooms, bathrooms, and a crew including a chef who whips up delicious local meals right on board.
Alleppey houseboat prices range from ₹6,000–₹12,000 per night for standard or deluxe boats, while premium and luxury houseboats cost ₹15,000–₹30,000+, depending on season, amenities, meals, and AC availability.
