Alleppey Private 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.

We had a wonderful stay on a pretty decent house boat at aleppy backwaters. It was a really refreshing and wonderful experience. We enjoyed our time in aleppy a lot. The candle light dinner and the food at the house boat everything was delicious and superb. Also the staff of the house boat were really helpful and they even helped us to get the kerala toddy. We really enjoyed being there in alepy. But accommodation at munnar was not up to the level(2/5).Electricity and wifi was not available most of the time. We got a small room that has a very unfortunate view. We have seen very nice rooms in the same resort with 400RS-500RS more. We were expecting we will get that. Everywhere the staffs were really friendly. Especially on the house boat they were really helpful and lovely. But as I said the munnar part of the trip did not meet our expectations. So hence we woould like to give 3/5 for the entire trip just because of that. Thanks Gokul and Asha

At the outset i would like to thank you guys for organizing this wonderful trip to Norther Kerala. Apart from a few drawbacks, which obviously happens in any trip, the whole experience has been awesome. I would particularly recommend the resorts in Wayanad and Thekkadi to your future customers also. The stay at Thekkadi was mind soothing and I must say the services and facilities are above par. You and your team have played a very good role in putting together a package to suit my very needs. Since I was looking to travel and see more places than staying in resorts, this trip has given me the opportunity to do so. Nelliyampathi in Palakkad was an absolute gem of a place one must visit. The places all over Wayanad and Munnar gives you the feeling of being in another world altogether. Nature - raw and undisturbed. I am adding few photographs which will tell you the tale themselves.

Even though we are from Kerala we had never done a proper tourist trip within the state. Thrillophilia planned it beautifully. Athirappilly waterfalls at its most powerful, Kovalam beach at sunset, Padmanabhaswamy temple darshan. Felt like seeing our own home with fresh eyes.

Kerala trip from Bhopal through Thrillophilia. Kerala is totally different from our city. Too much greenery everywhere. Munnar was best part. Weather cool, roads full of tea gardens. Long drive but didn’t feel boring. Driver Shaji was helpful, stopped at few good points without us asking. Alleppey houseboat was slow but nice experience. Just sitting, eating, watching outside. Everything was managed properly. No confusion at any point. Good trip overall.

Trip was simple and nice. No confusion. Driver was like family only, took care of small things also. Alleppey evening very peaceful. Didn’t feel like coming back.

Good Kerala experience with Thrillophilia. The houseboat was comfortable and the crew very attentive. Thekkady jeep safari was a fun add-on. One resort in Munnar had a slight room issue but the team sorted it quickly. Would recommend for families looking for a relaxed Kerala break.
