Imagine waking up to the gentle ripples of water, surrounded by greenery and the calming sounds of birds. A stay on an Alleppey houseboat isn’t just about cruising; it’s about immersing yourself in the beauty of Kerala, while enjoying delicious food and beautiful moments. Here’s what your experience from a alleppey boathouse ride.
Welcomed with Warmth
Your journey begins at noon as you step onto a beautifully crafted houseboat, with a refreshing welcome drink. The wooden traditional or luxury interiors, the soft hum of the boat, and endless stretch of coconut trees lining in the side set the perfect tone for a relaxing getaway.
Gliding Through the Backwaters
As the boat starts cruising, you can settle into a cozy spot on the deck, taking in the picturesque views of canals, charming villages, and green paddy fields that stretch beyond horizon. Fishermen in small boats, toddy shops along the side, and children waving from the shore make the journey more lively.
A Feast to Savor
By lunchtime, the aroma of authentic Kerala food fills the air. A spread of kerala rice, sambar, vegetable curries, crispy karimeen fry, and tangy pickles awaits. If you’re a seafood lover, you can stop at local market to handpick fresh fish or prawns in addition, which the onboard chef will cook just the way you like.
Time to Unwind & Explore
After a delicious meal, you can choose to simply relax on the sundeck
(if you booked alleppey houseboats with sundeck option) with a book or take a refreshing nap in your ac bedroom. If you’re in the mood for adventure, there are lots of activities available at an extra cost—kayaking through river and canals, taking a shikara ride for a closer view of village, or hopping on a small boat for an intimate backwater experience.
Golden Hour Bliss
As the sun begins to set, the backwaters turn into a magical canvas of orange hues. Sitting on the deck with a cup of chai and crispy banana fritters, you watch as the sky reflects beautifully on the still waters. This is the kind of moment that stays with you forever and that view is so amazing.
A Night Under the Stars
Dinner is another treat, with Kerala-style curries, home-cooked flavors. The boat is anchored for the night, offering a peaceful retreat in the middle of nature. With no honking cars or city lights, the sound of water gently lapping against the boat is all you hear as you drift into sleep.
Waking Up to Serenity
As the sun rises from the water, you sip on a hot cup of tea/coffee, watching fishermen cast their nets and birds glide effortlessly over the backwaters. A traditional breakfast of idli, dosa, or appam with coconut-infused curries fuels you for the day ahead.
By 9:00 AM, it’s time to say goodbye, but the memories of your Alleppey houseboat stay will linger long after you leave.
