Alleppey Sharing Houseboat

Alleppey Sharing Houseboat offers a relaxed and authentic way to experience the famous backwaters of Alappuzha, blending comfort with the lively charm of a shared houseboat cruise. Moored close to Thottumkal Junction East of District Court in Kidangamparamp, Thathampally, this boarding point places you just a gentle glide away from tranquil canals, swaying coconut palms and traditional village life. This shared houseboat stay is ideal for solo travellers, couples and small groups who want to enjoy the backwaters without booking an entire private vessel. The atmosphere on board is social yet unhurried: you can swap stories with fellow travellers, share meals on deck and still find quiet corners to sit back and watch life unfold along the waterways. Onboard Comforts The houseboat is equipped with essentials to keep your stay comfortable in the tropical climate. Cabins feature Western toilets, making it easy for international travellers to settle in with familiar amenities. Fans and air-conditioning help keep interiors cool and breezy, especially during warmer afternoons and humid nights. A mirror and simple furnishings add to the convenience of freshening up after a day out on the water. The real highlight is the boat ride itself. As the houseboat moves slowly through the backwaters, you’ll pass tiny islands, canals lined with paddy fields, and fishermen at work, capturing the timeless rhythm of Kerala’s coastal life. Sunrises and sunsets on the water are particularly memorable, with soft golden light reflecting off the lagoons and creating perfect photo opportunities. Location Benefits Being based in Thathampally means you are close enough to Alappuzha town for easy access, yet far enough to feel removed from the city bustle once you’re on the water. Alappuzha Railway Station is within easy reach, and the KSRTC Bus Terminal is less than a kilometre away, making this a convenient choice for travellers arriving by public transport. Nearby Attractions When you’re not cruising, you can explore the surrounding region’s cultural and religious landmarks. A short ride away lies Ambalappuzha Sree Krishna Swamy Temple, one of Kerala’s most revered temples, known for its classic Kerala-style architecture and rich traditions. A visit here adds a spiritual and historical dimension to your trip. The proximity to Alappuzha Railway Station also makes it easy to continue your journey across Kerala, whether you’re heading north towards Kochi and beyond or south to Kollam and Trivandrum. You can balance time on the boat with local excursions, beach visits and town walks.
