Alleppey Offbeat Tours

Alappuzha (Alleppey) is known as ‘the Venice of the East’. Offering the best tourist places in Alleppey, this charming place is the hub of Kerala’s backwaters and is home to a huge network of backwaters and more than thousand houseboats. The houseboats you find in the backwaters of Alappuzha are in fact a reworked version of the Kettuvallams of olden times. Kettuvallam is a Malayalam word, ‘Kettu’, means living structures and ‘Vallom’ means boat. In the olden days, kettuvallam or boat with a thatched roof that covers over wooden hulls was used to carry tons of rice and spices.

The modern houseboats are equipped with all the comforts of a good hotel room like air conditioners, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a balcony for angling. An uninterrupted view of life in the backwaters fringed with coconut trees can be enjoyed from a houseboat. A perfect place to unwind with its laidback canals and lush greenery. The Alappuzha beach with a 137-year-old pier extending into the sea and an old 17th-century lighthouse built by the Portuguese add to the magic of the place. It is famous for its boat races, marine products, and coir industry.

So get ready to wander around this small but chaotic city center and bus-stand area, with its modest grid of canals. Head west to the beach or in practically any other direction towards the backwaters and Alleppey becomes elegant and greenery-fringed, waning into a watery world of hamlets, punted canoes, toddy shops and, of course, houseboats. Float along and gaze over paddy fields of succulent green, curvaceous rice barges and village life along the banks. Indeed, it is here that nature has spent upon the land her richest bounties. Come and explore the best tourist places in Alleppey.

Kerala with my girl gang from Pune was a memorable trip. the houseboat in Alleppey was exactly the vibe we needed. Floating gently through the backwater canals, watching village life on the banks, having freshly made fish curry on board, it felt like a different world entirely. Good planning, comfortable stays and zero stress throughout.

Romba nalla experience, the backwaters are much more peaceful than our Marina! Manoj arranged a lovely beachside dinner for us in Kovalam which was a very thoughtful gesture. Traveling from Chennai, we found the greenery to be absolutely breathtaking. The houseboat stay was the highlight of our trip and the food was excellent. The logistics were handled very professionally and our driver was very safe on the mountain roads. A great holiday overall.

Kerala ka safar sach mein bilkul badhiya raha! Kumarakom mein jo private villa tha woh kaafi stunning tha, bahut privacy thi aur lake ka view bhi amazing tha. Rahul ka special thanks, unhone hume surprise room upgrade diya aur poore trip ke dauraan constant support bhi diya. Lucknow se travel karte hue hume yeh peaceful environment bilkul perfect laga holiday ke liye. Houseboat experience bhi kaafi unique tha aur food bhi bahut delicious tha. Overall ek bahut hi great trip raha.

Darun experience chhilo, especially the Munnar hill station which was so green and misty. The tea gardens looked like a green carpet laid out just for us to explore. Thanks to Sameer for the great deal and for being available throughout our trip for any queries. Traveling from Kolkata, we found the weather and the food to be a refreshing change. The houseboat stay in Alleppey was a dream come true and very well-organized by the team.

The houseboat stay was very peaceful and the food served on board was fresh and amazing. We enjoyed watching the local life along the backwaters and spotting different birds. The itinerary was well-balanced and allowed us to explore each place at our own pace. All the transfers were on time and the vehicles provided were in great condition. A very professional and efficient service that we would highly recommend to any traveler.

Noida to Kerala trip was seamless from the initial booking to the final drop-off. The entire documentation process was handled online, which was very convenient for my busy schedule in the city. The resort in Munnar was stunning and offered a great view of the tea estates from our balcony. Our driver was very professional and punctual throughout the journey. A very well-managed trip that allowed me to truly relax and unwind.
