Vagamon ➡️ Alleppey – Into the Backwater Bliss

Wake up to the crisp mountain air of Vagamon and enjoy a fresh, local breakfast ☕. After checking out, it’s time to head down from the hills to the heart of Kerala’s watery wonderland — Alleppey (Alappuzha), often referred to as the “Venice of the East”.

The drive (approx. 4–5 hours depending on route) gradually transitions from green hill slopes to wide paddy fields, quiet rural roads, and narrow canals. Along the way, watch the changing face of Kerala — from misty peaks to coconut-fringed waterways.

Boarding Your Private Houseboat – Floating Comfort on the Backwaters

By 12:00 noon, you’ll arrive at the Allepey houseboat jetty, where your luxurious private houseboat awaits. Step aboard, and your crew — a captain, cook, and helper — will greet you with warm smiles. The experience begins immediately.

As the houseboat sets sail on the shimmering waters of Vembanad Lake, you’re transported into a slower, dreamlike world ✨:

Glide past endless paddy fields dotted with white egrets
Pass under overhanging coconut palms and banana trees
Watch village life unfold — women washing clothes, children waving from banks, men fishing with traditional nets
See ducks paddling in rows and fishermen casting their nets
Admire charming canal-side homes, temples, and toddy shops

This is authentic Kerala, untouched and timeless.

Delicious Food, Backwater Style

Enjoy a Kerala-style lunch served hot on board — typically featuring red rice, vegetable thoran, sambar, fish fry (if you wish), and tangy pickles. Everything is cooked fresh on the boat by your personal chef .

Later, sip on evening tea or coffee with banana fritters or local snacks while sitting on the sundeck, watching the golden sunset melt into the water.

At night, your crew will anchor the boat in a calm and safe spot along the banks . A tasty dinner follows, usually lighter and warm, perfect for a restful sleep.

Overnight Stay on Houseboat – Under the Stars

With nothing but the sound of gentle ripples, the whisper of palms, and distant calls of night birds , spend your night rocked to sleep on water. Whether in your cozy air-conditioned bedroom or relaxing on deck under the stars ✨, this experience is pure Kerala magic.
