Cruise through heaven in Kerala’s lush backwaters
Enjoy a unique and serene vacation on our houseboats and take in scenic views of the backwaters, the coconut groves and rural life along India’s largest freshwater lake, Vembanad.
Imagine a vacation, where all you do, is float on a plush, traditional Kerala houseboat, on calm, gentle waters that take you through some of the most beautiful sights you will ever see in Kerala. You lay back and relax, as the houseboat navigates the smooth waterways, blessing you with views of the lush greenery and incredibly beautiful birds that call Vembanad Lake their home. As you drift on by, you catch glimpses of the rural life of the people in Kerala, going about their day, on the shore. Elevate this unique experience by buying some fresh catch from the vendors on the banks of the lake, that can be served up in style for you to eat, right on the houseboat.
Choose from a variety of packages that suit your convenience – maybe take a day cruise, or stay overnight on one of the luxurious air-conditioned Kettuveloms. Want the best of both worlds? Opt for our “Lake and Land package” that gives you the option of spending time on our premium houseboat, and adding on a relaxing stay at the Sterling Lake Palace Alleppey Resort!
