Spend the great evening in our houseboat, and then enjoy a quiet sleep….

Alleppey (Alappuzha) has a large network of canals and one of the major centres for backwater boat trips. This palace where narrow canals, rivers, lakes lagoons and land meet are aptly called “Alleppey backwaters” In this wonderful land lush green paddy fields, coconut plantation, topicana and banana, mango are cultivated four to six feet below the sea level. Life here cannot be though without a canoe or boats. It is the land of fishermen and women. It distinguishes itself with prawns, mussels, pearl spot fish and other fishes. In order to be one with Vembanad Lake which is the biggest freshwater lake in Kerala a backwater cruise on the lakes and rivers take you along canals past scenic islands offering sublime views of coconut and paddy fields, fishing nets, toddy tapers at work, flocks of ducks swimming aroung the banks and tiny birds flying across the sky and typical Kerala village houses to experience an extra ordinary trip through the backwaters and take sweet memories of Kerala back.

One of the largest lakes in India, the Vembanad Lake is India’s longest lake and also the largest lake in all of Kerala. The districts of Allepey, Kottayam and Ernakulam border the lake. A distinctive feature of the lake is that it has been divided into two parts by the Thannermukkom salt water barrier, which leaves one part of the lake with brackish water perennially and the second part with fresh water from the rivers draining into the lake. The Vembanad Lake is at the centre of Kerala Backwaters tourism with a myriad ketuvallams (houseboats) crowding it. There are several other reasons which attract tourists to the beautiful lake, in and off season. The town of Allepey, bordering the lake, is considered to be the Venice of the East.
