Living

We offer meticulously designed houseboats with one, two, and three bedrooms, each boasting sun decks, living areas, and comfortable sleeping beds. Additionally, we have a comfortable seating arrangement around a central table. Furthermore, the layout of the boat is designed to maximize comfort and relaxation for guests. In fact, the houseboat’s design often incorporates large windows and an open deck area to provide breath-taking views of the surrounding landscapes, rivers, or lakes. Moreover, guests can relax on the open deck or in the outdoor seating areas while taking in the picturesque scenery.

Dining

Meals are crafted from a set menu unless specific dietary preferences are communicated beforehand. Lunch usually features fish while dinner often includes chicken. This culinary approach reflects the straightforward and wholesome dining tradition upheld by boatmen of previous eras, which continues to be honoured today. Guests can enjoy delicious local cuisine served in elegant dining areas onboard, often featuring freshly caught seafood and traditional specialties.

Activities

Alleppey or Alappuzha is, indeed, the gateway to the backwaters. Furthermore, heritage walks through the town, titled “Alleppey on Foot,” were the first step towards letting others know about the rich history of this planned port town. In addition, the Preserve Alleppey Society, or PAS, was formed with the intention of increasing awareness of its heritage and helping its conservation. Consequently, members of PAS served as voluntary guides on a walk along a canal-side street, which, notably, has many architecturally interesting buildings. Moreover, these efforts not only highlight the town’s unique architectural features but also foster a deeper connection between the community and its historical roots.

Kayaking in Kerala is, indeed, a unique way to explore the backwaters of Kerala—an intricate network of canals, palm-fringed lagoons, and the inimitable lifestyle of the Kuttanadan people. Moreover, kayaking in Kerala gives you a ringside view of life along the backwaters. As we embark on our kayaks and start paddling, we move through the palm-fringed waterways, past unsullied villagers and the countryside, ultimately reaching the interiors of Keralan villages where only a kayak can reach. Furthermore, the only company we will have consists of the peaceful villages, smiling children, and the farmers hard at work. Additionally, kayaking in Kerala is also an excellent opportunity to see village life at close quarters—where the local people are engaged in farming, fishing, duck rearing, and toddy tapping, or just relaxing.

Tuk-Tuks (locally known as auto-rickshaws) are  a great way of seeing any town or city in India. For instance, the Tuk Tuk Tour in Kerala features some of the top heritage Kerala tours. Moreover, most of the tourist places and ancient landmarks that interest tourists are tucked in narrow alleys, which are best explored through a private tuk-tuk tour.

Specifically, a tuk tuk tour to Ambalapuzha Sree Krishna Swami Temple is a highlight in Alleppey. In fact, Ambalappuzha Sri Krishna Temple is a Hindu temple in Ambalappuzha, Alapuzha district of Kerala, in south India. Additionally,the Ambalappuzha Sri Krishna Temple is believed to have been built during the 15th – 17th AD by the local ruler Chembakasserry Pooradam Thirunal-Devanarayanan Thampuran.

Canoe Ride

On this guided tour, we explore a village by boat (small hand-punted canoe) and on foot. Moreover, since there are no industries here, the village is free from all types of pollution. In addition, the main occupation of the villagers is making ropes with coconut fiber, mat weaving with leaves of wild pineapple, traditional coconut processing, fishing, farming, and so on. Finally, enjoy a delicious homely lunch from the village.
