Alleppey Beach
This is known throughout Kerala as one of the best beaches accredited to its intrinsic natural beauty. The beach’s celebrated history as a prominent port city is well depicted in its 137-year-old pie that stretches out to the sea. The beauty of this beach is further amplified by an ancient lighthouse, dense palm groves and a beautiful garden. Picnicking and relaxing at the beach are the most common activities carried out by tourists here.

Krishnapuram Palace was constructed in the 18th century by Raja Marthanda Varma Maharaja. Today the palace is an archaeological museum that houses an exquisite range of antique sculptures and paintings. The palace is also famous for its architecture and mural paintings. You’ll have to pay an entry fee of INR 25 to visit this palace.

Alleppey’s Backwaters
Alleppey’s Backwaters can be referred to as a mirage of what heaven might look on a serene day. The city has a very peculiar feature of having the water at the level of the land. Conclusively, the people who cruise on the backwaters get to closely observe the village life on the shore.

Our hearts are so full as we look back on this incredible journey. A massive, soulful thank you to the Thrillophilia team for making our dreams a reality. To Anshika, your unwavering support was our safety net; we truly couldn't have navigated this without your constant care. And to Ansari Bhai, you weren't just a guide—you were like family. Your patience, kindness, and 'never-say-no' attitude turned every moment into a treasure. You’ve given us memories we will carry with us forever.
My 2nd experience with thriliophillia is kerela, 1st was leg Ladakh Munnar - at wood resort In this resort lift not available and for hot water geaser not available, hotel distance from munnar almost 15 km, so it's only okay ok, Thekkady - mountain hues Hotel room's are nice and clean but distance from Thekkady almost 17 km Alleppey - house boat is good, food is okay But AC time is limited and for extra AC than 1000 rs per room extra pay Covlam- Ocean Bay resort It's walking distance from beach and hotel is nice and clean, food is also good We have Ertiga for our family and nice vehicle and good driver Mr Tahir and also in hindi Overall good time with thriliophillia, thank you Team for all support
The overall trip was a fabulous one. The hotels, food and travel were all up to the mark. This was my second trip from Thrillophilia. My 100% recommendation to those who all are looking for a mesmerising travel and vacation.
We had a great trip with thrillophilia. Everything was sorted and easy 😇
We had the great time in Kerala. Nice and well planned itinerary staff was flexible and very supportive during whole trip. Especially, I would like to thank Mr. Lizu our cab driver. He was very good on the road and very knowledgeable of the places and routes.
Overall, the trip was enjoyable with a very polite and safe driver who made the travel experience smooth. Most hotels offered good service, but several had maintenance issues such as small rooms, non-working telecom, TV limitations, weak WiFi, and delays in restaurant service. Houseboat food and service were good but rooms were cramped and lacked hot water. Despite a few stay-related inconveniences, the overall experience was decent.
