Questions guests ask

Is the Alleppey houseboat shared?

No. You book the whole boat for your group, with its own crew and kitchen.

What's the difference between deluxe, luxury and premium houseboats?

Mainly air-conditioning hours, cabin size and an upper deck. Deluxe runs AC overnight, luxury adds larger cabins and an upper deck, and premium has AC all day and a dedicated chef.

Alleppey or Kumarakom?

Alleppey has the wider lake, more boats and is easier to reach. Kumarakom is quieter and better for birdwatching.
