Alleppey Backwater Day Cruise

Alappuzha

A houseboat for the day rather than the night: boarding in the morning, cruising the Punnamada lake and the narrow canals through the paddy below sea level, a lunch of Kerala fish curry cooked on board, and back to the jetty by evening. You get the whole backwater experience without giving up your hotel room.
