Houseboats in Alleppey (Alappuzha)

About Alleppey Houseboats

Alleppey (officially Alappuzha) is known as the "Venice of the East" and is the most popular destination for houseboat experiences in Kerala. The backwater network here includes Vembanad Lake — one of the largest lakes in India — along with narrow village canals, paddy fields, and coconut-lined waterways.

Kalappura Houseboats operates private houseboats that cruise through these backwaters. Each houseboat comes with its own crew including a captain, chef, and helper. All our boats are traditional kettuvallam-style vessels with modern amenities like air conditioning, private bathrooms, and fully equipped kitchens.
