The only guide you’ll need that tells you everything you need to know about booking a houseboat stay in the Kerala backwaters!
The city of Alleppey is a gateway to the most famous stretch of the backwaters in the Kuttanad region. Here’s what you need to know!
Houseboats can range in size and quality and can boast one to six bedrooms. Consider your options and choose the best one that suits your needs and budget.
My personal choice was the Cruise Land Houseboat. For a 24-hour stay, you’ll pay 30,000 rupees/$393 USD. This price covers your lodgings, food, activities, and the boat’s staff.
Check-in is usually at noon, and keep in mind that the backwaters can be congested with houseboats during the high season. Unless you’re staying multiple nights, don’t bring large, bulky luggage onboard.
Most houseboats feel like an Airbnb. Mine had a cozy living room, three bedrooms (each with their own attached bathroom), a communal sink, a kitchen, and an outdoor balcony.
Houseboats can only run from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. due to local river regulations.
Your meals will consist of veg and non-veg southern Indian food bought from local markets, such as rice, coconut, fresh seafood, chicken curry, vegetables, dal, payasam, dosas, chutneys, sambar, banana fry, fried bread, ginger chai, and toddy.
One of the best things to do is to explore the sites and towns along the waterways, like Karumadikuttan Temple in the village of Karumady and St. Mary’s Basilica in Champakulam.
You can get fresh seafood, bottled drinks, and basic toiletries at a canal-side market called Pothuval Fish Center & Dynamic Cool Bar, or you can try your hand at fishing yourself! If you want, you can leave it to the professionals.
A sunrise or sunset canoe ride is also a must. The colors in the sky make the backwaters even more beautiful, if that’s even possible! Take in the buildings along the waterways, including homes and churches.
If you visit the Kerala backwaters in the autumn, you can even watch a boat race that takes place on Meenappally Kayal Lake!
Renting a houseboat is an experience I urge everyone to have at least once. It will change your life forever.
