A Houseboat Day On The Alappuzha Backwaters
Alappuzha Houseboat Day Cruise on the Kerala Backwaters
Drifting past paddy fields, village churches and coconut groves on a Kerala kettuvallam.
Our houseboat left the Alappuzha jetty around noon and slowly turned into the canals of Kuttanad. Lunch was rice, fish curry and vegetables cooked on board, eaten as the paddy fields slid past below the water level.
Good to know
- Day cruises suit a short trip; overnight boats anchor by evening.
- Choose licensed operators and check the route in advance.
- Sunset over Vembanad Lake is the highlight.
