Sunil from Alkof Holidays provided endless support, updated correspondence and with first class service on our trip in India. From the time we booked until our goodbyes at the airport, I could not fault this tour. All the guides, drivers and representatives did an amazing job to accommodate us and our needs. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with an enormous smile. Sunil even organised an additional tour and an additional safari we requested. It was done quickly and efficiently and made our tour amazing. The wildlife we saw was unbelievable!!!!’ We were surprised with every safari, we had the best viewings that well exceeded our expectations. Our transport, accommodation and food was of a high standard.

Alappuzha Travel FAQs

Alappuzha stands out for its network of canals, lagoons, and backwaters that create Kerala's most accessible houseboat experience. The town serves as the main boarding point for backwater cruises through Vembanad Lake. Traditional houseboats converted from rice barges offer overnight stays on the water. The area combines waterways with coconut-lined shores, paddy fields, and small villages. Most Kerala packages include Alappuzha specifically for the houseboat experience, often paired with Kochi or Munnar.
Most travellers spend 1 to 2 nights in Alappuzha, typically including one overnight houseboat stay. A single day covers the main backwater cruise and village sightseeing. Two days allows time for both houseboat experience and exploring the town's canals by smaller boats. Kerala tour packages usually allocate 1-2 nights here between other destinations. The houseboat experience itself runs from afternoon check-in to morning check-out the next day.
October to March offers the most comfortable weather for houseboat stays and backwater cruises. December and January see peak tourist season with clear skies and pleasant temperatures. April and May become quite hot but remain manageable for water-based activities. The monsoon months of June to September bring heavy rains that can disrupt houseboat schedules, though the landscape turns very green. Post-monsoon October shows renewed water levels and fresh scenery.
Houseboat stays typically start with afternoon boarding and a welcome drink. The boat cruises slowly through canals while lunch is served onboard. Evening time includes watching sunset over the backwaters and dinner prepared by the onboard crew. Overnight accommodation is in air-conditioned bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Morning includes breakfast and disembarkation by 9 or 10 AM. Some boats stop at small villages or coir-making demonstrations during the cruise.
Canal cruises on smaller country boats explore narrower waterways that houseboats cannot access. Alappuzha Beach offers a lighthouse, pier, and seafront walks. The town has churches, temples, and the old market area worth exploring on foot. Village visits show coir rope making, fishing activities, and toddy tapping demonstrations. Kayaking through smaller canals provides a more active water experience. Some tours include visits to local farms or fish processing areas.
Alappuzha lies 53 km south of Kochi, a 1.5-hour drive that most Kerala packages include. From Munnar, the journey takes about 4 hours through winding hill roads. Trivandrum is 160 km south, roughly 3.5 hours by road. The town has a railway station with connections to major Kerala cities. Most organised tours arrange private transport between destinations. Kochi airport serves as the main international entry point for packages that include Alappuzha.
Houseboats in Alappuzha are generally safe with experienced crew members who handle navigation and cooking. Boats undergo regular safety inspections and carry life jackets. Most houseboats have separate bedrooms, attached bathrooms, and covered seating areas. Reputable operators maintain their boats well and provide trained staff. However, travellers should choose established houseboat operators rather than budget options. The water is usually calm, making the experience suitable for most age groups.
Houseboat meals typically feature Kerala cuisine with rice, fish curry, vegetables, and coconut-based dishes. Fresh fish from the backwaters often appears in lunch and dinner. Vegetarian options include sambar, rasam, and mixed vegetable preparations. Breakfast usually consists of appam, puttu, or dosa with curry. Most boats accommodate dietary preferences if informed in advance. The onboard cook prepares meals using fresh ingredients picked up from local markets before departure.
Pack light cotton clothing suitable for humid weather and casual boat wear. Bring sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses for daytime cruising on open water. Mosquito repellent is essential for evening hours near the waterways. Comfortable walking shoes work for any village visits or getting on and off the boat. A light jacket helps for air-conditioned rooms and early morning hours. Camera or phone for photography, and any personal medications you might need.
Most Kerala packages combine Alappuzha with other destinations like Kochi, Munnar, or Thekkady rather than focusing solely on the backwaters. Multi-destination tours make practical sense as they utilise travel time efficiently and offer diverse experiences. Standalone Alappuzha trips are possible but less common in organised tourism. Kerala's compact geography allows easy combination of backwaters, hills, and cities in 7-10 day packages. Tours typically use Alappuzha as one highlight within a broader Kerala experience.
