Floating palaces of tranquillity
If you are in Alappuzha, it will be a sin to miss the chance of boarding the renowned Kerala houseboat. Step aboard these floating abodes, and you'll experience a unique blend of history and luxury. Once used to transport rice and spices through the backwaters, these traditional boats have been transformed into accommodations on the water.
Staying in a houseboat helps you get a glimpse into the heart and soul of Kerala's backwater life. It has all the modern comforts you'd expect from a hotel, including plush bedrooms, modern bathrooms, cosy living areas, and even a balcony perfect for angling or simply soaking in the serene surroundings.
Life along the waterways
The Backwaters of Alappuzha are not just a visual feast but a rich, multisensory adventure waiting to be explored. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in breathtaking colours, you'll understand why watching the sunset here is an unmissable experience. The region is filled with the melodious calls of diverse bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. You can also step off the houseboats to experience village life, where time seems to move at a gentle pace. And the night turns the sky into a glittering canvas of stars, offering you a perfect setting for stargazing.
