Alleppey & Kumarakom Backwater Experience
Step aboard a traditional Kerala houseboat and drift through the serene backwaters of Alleppey and Kumarakom. Known for their calm waters, coconut palms, and charming villages, these destinations are the heart of Kerala’s backwater life. A houseboat cruise is more than just a journey — it’s an experience of Kerala’s culture, cuisine, and timeless beauty.
Our houseboats are designed for comfort and authenticity. Spacious bedrooms, open decks for viewing, and onboard chefs serving freshly prepared Kerala meals make your stay truly memorable. As you glide along the canals, you’ll pass lush paddy fields, fishermen at work, floating markets, and bird sanctuaries — every moment offering a glimpse into the local way of life.
Alleppey, often called the Venice of the East, is perfect for those who want to witness the vibrant side of the backwaters, with busy canals and village activities. Kumarakom, on the other hand, offers a quieter retreat, where you can enjoy peaceful lake views and spot migratory birds in the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary.
Whether it’s a family getaway, a honeymoon escape, or a group holiday, our houseboat packages can be tailored to your needs. From single-day cruises to overnight stays, each journey is planned with care so you can relax and enjoy the beauty around you.
When you choose Pickup Trails for your houseboat booking, you’re choosing more than a trip — you’re choosing a curated experience of Kerala’s most iconic landscapes.
