Houseboat Experience in Alleppey, Kerala
Kalappura Houseboats offers private houseboat stays on the backwaters of Alleppey (Alappuzha), Kerala. Our fleet of traditional kettuvallam houseboats are available with 1, 2, or 3 bedrooms — all with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and an onboard kitchen serving authentic Kerala cuisine. Cruise through Vembanad Lake, the coconut-lined canals of Kuttanad, and the quiet lagoons that make Alleppey the most popular backwater destination in India.
Whether you are planning a honeymoon houseboat cruise, a family vacation, or a group trip through the Kerala backwaters, our houseboats are designed for every occasion. Each booking includes an overnight stay with a cruise through Vembanad Lake, Punnamada Lake, and the village canals of Kainakari and Kuppappuram — surrounded by paddy fields, coconut groves, and the birdlife of the Kuttanad wetlands.
We offer three package options — Standard, Premium, and Semi Luxury — starting from ₹15,000 per room per night. All packages include welcome drinks, lunch, evening tea with snacks, dinner, and breakfast the next morning. Enjoy fresh pearl-spot fish fry, traditional Kerala sadya, and seafood prepared with local spices from the backwater villages. Check our houseboat rates for current pricing.
