Tranquil Cruise

Houseboats

A kettuvallam of your own.

Overnight and multi-night journeys on a private houseboat, with a crew who cook, steer and quietly take care of everything.

Two traditional kettuvallam houseboats gliding across a still, misty Alleppey lake dotted with water hyacinth

The boat

Built the old way, fitted for rest.

Our boats are woven from bamboo and coir over a jackwood hull, the way kettuvallams have been made for centuries. Inside, air-conditioned cabins and an open front deck.

There is no fixed route. The captain reads the weather and the water, and you decide when to stop.
