Alleppey — glide through Kerala's backwaters
Palm-fringed canals, floating villages, and a houseboat deck all to yourself.
Known as the Venice of the East, Alleppey's endless network of lagoons and canals is best explored the slow way — aboard a traditional Kettuvallam houseboat, drifting past paddy fields and coconut groves.
Malabar Online arranges private houseboat stays with home-cooked Kerala meals, sunset views from your own deck, and village stops along the way, so every trip feels personal and unhurried.
