What to Expect on a Private Kerala Houseboat

What to Expect on a Private Kerala Houseboat

  2. The food is the star
  3. A gentle rhythm

A night drifting through the Alleppey backwaters — the food, the pace and the little details that make it special.

Your own floating home

A private houseboat means the whole vessel is yours — a crew of two or three, a chef, and a sundeck to watch the canals slide by. No fixed schedule, no strangers.

The food is the star

Freshly caught karimeen, coconut curries and just-picked vegetables, cooked onboard and served when you're hungry. Tell us your preferences and we'll brief the chef.

A gentle rhythm

Boats cruise through the morning and afternoon, then moor by the bank for the night. Evenings are still, lit by lanterns, with birdsong and the occasional passing canoe.
