Alappuzha, often referred to as the “Venice of the East,” is renowned for its picturesque backwaters, which form an intricate network of lakes, canals, and rivers. The houseboats, or “kettuvallams,” are traditional wooden vessels converted into luxurious floating accommodations. These houseboats offer a unique way to explore the tranquil beauty of Kerala’s backwaters. As you glide through the waterways, you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery, swaying coconut palms, and vibrant wildlife. The serene environment, combined with the gentle movement of the houseboat, creates a peaceful and rejuvenating experience, making it a must-do when visiting Kerala.
