Alleppey
Drift through Kerala's legendary backwaters on a traditional Kettuvallam (rice boat) converted into a luxury floating villa — complete with air-conditioned bedrooms, sun decks, full kitchen, and onboard cooks serving freshly prepared Kerala cuisine. Glide through palm-fringed canals, past paddy fields, fishing villages, and the vast Vembanad Lake.
Book at least 3 months in advance for peak season (December–January). Opt for a 'premium' houseboat with double-hull for stability and air-conditioning.
