Have you ever gone cruising in a houseboat on the backwaters of Kerala? If you haven't, make sure you do. This is easily one amongst the most remarkable and unique experiences that our state has to offer.

Present day houseboats are huge, slow moving exotic barges used for leisure trips, and are in fact a reworked version of the Kettuvallams of olden times. The original Kettuvallams were used to carry tons of rice and spices. A standard Kettuvallam can hold up to 30 tons of goods from Kuttanad to the Kochi port.

In Malayalam language Kettu refers to ‘dwelling structures’ ‘Vallam’ means boat. These are boats with a thatched roof cover over wooden hulls. The boat is made of planks of jack-wood joined together with coir. This is then coated with a caustic black resin made from boiled cashew kernels. With careful maintenance, a Kettuvallam can last for generations.

A portion of the Kettuvallam was covered with bamboo and coir to serve as a restroom and kitchen for the crew. Meals were cooked onboard and supplemented with freshly cooked fish from the backwaters.

When  modern trucks replaced this system of transport, people came up with a new way that would keep these boats, almost all of which were more than 100 years old, in the market. By constructing special rooms to accommodate travellers, these boats cruised forward from near-extinction to enjoy their present  popularity.

Today these are a familiar sight on the backwaters and in Alappuzha alone, there are as many as 500 houseboats.

While converting kettuvallams into houseboats, care is taken to use only natural products. Bamboo mats, sticks and wood of the areca nut tree are used for roofing, coir mats and wooden planks for the flooring and wood of coconut trees and coir for beds. Nowadays, Solar panels are preferred for lighting.

Today, the houseboats boast of the same comforts of a good hotel including furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a balcony for angling. Parts of the curved roof of wood or plaited palm leaves open out to provide shade and allow uninterrupted views. While most boats are poled by local oarsmen, some are powered by a 40 HP engine. Boat-trains - formed by joining two or more houseboats together are also used by large groups of sightseers.

What is truly magical about a houseboat ride is the breathtaking view of the untouched and otherwise inaccessible rural Kerala that it offers, while you float in a relaxed way right through it.

Houseboats in Alleppey and other backwater destinations in Kerala typically do not travel after 5:30 PM for several reasons:

1. Safety: Navigating the backwaters at night can be hazardous due to limited visibility. Many of the backwater canals are narrow and winding, making it difficult to maneuver the houseboats safely after sunset. Traveling in the dark increases the risk of accidents and collisions with other boats or submerged objects.

2. Lack of Navigation Aids: The backwaters may not be well-lit with navigation aids like buoys or lights. Without proper illumination, it becomes even more challenging for houseboat operators to navigate the waterways safely.

3. Local Regulations: The Kerala State Inland Navigation Department and other regulatory bodies have set specific operating hours for houseboats to ensure the safety of tourists and maintain order in the backwaters. Following these regulations helps prevent overcrowding and ensures a better experience for everyone.

4. Environmental Impact: Allowing houseboats to operate during the night could disturb the natural habitat of aquatic life and affect the delicate ecosystem of the backwaters. The disturbance caused by boat movements and human activities at night could be harmful to the local flora and fauna.

5. Respect for Local Communities: Many local communities live along the backwaters, and operating houseboats at night might disrupt their peaceful environment. Limiting houseboat travel to daytime hours helps maintain the tranquility of the area and respects the privacy of local residents.

Overall, the restriction on houseboat travel after 5:30 PM is in the best interest of safety, environmental preservation, and ensuring a pleasant experience for both tourists and local communities. Tourists can enjoy daytime cruises to appreciate the scenic beauty of the backwaters while minimizing potential negative impacts on the region.

Alleppey houseboats are generally safe for kids, but like any other travel experience, certain precautions should be taken to ensure their safety and comfort. Houseboats are a popular choice for families, and many parents and children have had enjoyable experiences exploring the backwaters of Kerala. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Supervision: Always supervise your kids, especially if they are near the water or on the open deck. Houseboats have open spaces, and it’s crucial to keep an eye on your children to prevent any accidents.

2. Staircase Safety: Be cautious of staircases on the houseboat. Ensure that younger children are accompanied by adults when using them to avoid any slips or falls.

3. Food and Water: If the houseboat provides meals, ensure that the food is safe and suitable for your children. Carry enough water and snacks that your kids are familiar with.

7. Sun Protection: Carry sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses for your kids, as the sun can be quite strong during the daytime.

8. Motion Sickness: If your child is prone to motion sickness, be prepared with medication or natural remedies to alleviate discomfort during the boat ride.

9. Life on a Houseboat: Explain to your kids about life on a houseboat and set expectations. For instance, they should know to stay within the boat boundaries and not lean over the edges.

Always communicate with the houseboat staff about any concerns or specific requirements you may have regarding your children’s safety and comfort. With proper preparation and vigilance, a houseboat experience in Alleppey can be an enjoyable and memorable adventure for the entire family.

Both Alleppey and Kumarakom offer unique and delightful houseboat experiences, and the choice between the two depends on your preferences and interests. Here are some factors to consider when deciding between Alleppey and Kumarakom for a houseboat stay:

1. Scenery: Both destinations are set in the beautiful backwaters of Kerala, but they offer slightly different landscapes. Alleppey, also known as Alappuzha, is known for its intricate network of canals, lush paddy fields, and vibrant village life. Kumarakom, on the other hand, is characterized by serene lagoons, coconut groves, and bird sanctuaries.

2. Houseboat Routes: The houseboat routes in Alleppey and Kumarakom can differ. Alleppey often covers the Vembanad Lake and the smaller canals, while Kumarakom may focus more on the Vembanad backwaters and the bird sanctuary area.

3. Accessibility: Alleppey is more accessible and well-connected by road and rail, making it easier to reach for travelers. Kumarakom is relatively close to Alleppey but might require a short additional transfer.

4. Houseboat Varieties: Both destinations offer various types of houseboats, from standard to luxury, with different amenities. The options available in both places can cater to various budgets and preferences.

5. Price: Houseboat rates can vary depending on the season, demand, and type of houseboat. In general, Alleppey may have more competitive pricing due to the higher number of operators and options available.

Ultimately, both Alleppey and Kumarakom offer fantastic houseboat experiences, and your choice depends on the kind of ambiance you seek. If you prefer a more bustling and diverse experience, Alleppey might be your choice. If you desire a serene and laid-back environment with a focus on birdwatching, Kumarakom might be more suitable. Whichever you choose, a houseboat stay in the backwaters of Kerala is sure to be a memorable and rejuvenating experience.

No, we Beautiful Alleppey Houseboats are operating individual houseboats. So whichever houseboat we provide, it is exclusively for you.

Private Houseboats: If you book a private houseboat, the entire houseboat will be exclusively for you and your group. No other guests will be accommodated on the same boat, ensuring privacy and a personalized experience. Private houseboats are a popular choice for families, couples, or groups of friends who prefer to have the entire boat to themselves.

If you value privacy and want to enjoy a more intimate experience with your own group, opt for a private houseboat.

No, the houseboat package is not inclusive of pick and drop. We can arrange it on extra payment
