Things You Should Know - on visit to Kerala
Kerala Houseboat has consistently led the way in offering unforgettable houseboat experiences in the tranquil backwaters of Alleppey, a gem nestled in the heart of God’s Own Country, Kerala. Our journey began with a vision to not just provide a journey, but to craft a memorable story that our guests would cherish for a lifetime. In the paradise that is Kerala, we have distinguished ourselves through our unwavering commitment to quality service and ensuring the best value for your investment.
Motor boats in Alleppey also known as power boats are very different from traditional houseboats and are used mostly for daily commute in the Alleppey backwaters. They are also used for sightseeing by a number of tourists arriving here every year.
