Alappuzha
Kerala · The Backwaters
AlappuzhaAlappuzha is the heart of Kerala's backwaters, a network of palm-fringed canals and lagoons best explored aboard a traditional converted rice barge, or houseboat, moving quietly past riverside village life.
For most travellers, this overnight on the water is the single most memorable part of a Kerala trip — fresh Kerala meals cooked on board, and a pace of travel that's the opposite of everything before it.
October to March for the clearest cruising conditions.
A 1.5–2 hour drive from Kochi, typically scheduled as the trip's signature overnight stay.
