Overview

Trade the hills for water on a traditional Kerala houseboat, gliding through Alleppey's palm-fringed backwaters at an unhurried pace. Umamani Travels arranges your transfer from Munnar and books a private houseboat — a converted rice barge, or "kettuvallam" — complete with a bedroom, sit-out deck and an onboard kitchen crew.

Watch village life drift by on the banks, spot herons and kingfishers along the canals, and enjoy a home-style Kerala lunch cooked fresh on board. Choose a day cruise if you're short on time, or stay overnight to watch the backwaters turn gold at sunset and quiet down under the stars.
