Marari
From Marari, it's a simple 15-kilometre ride to Alappuzha (Alleppey), where houseboat rides through the legendary Kerala backwaters await. The labyrinthine network of canals, coconut groves, and village life glimpsed from a traditional kettuvallam houseboat is quintessentially Kerala.
Opt for a government-certified DTPC houseboat for clean facilities and fair pricing without commission touts.
