The following is why one should stay in a houseboat in Alleppey if they were one who loved everything about nature.
Immersive Natural Beauty
In the backwaters of Alleppey, which are incredibly beautiful, there are no boundaries between inseparable stretches of water lined with swaying coconut trees, green rice fields and small villages. Therefore, if one finds himself floating on a houseboat, he will only hear sound from water splashing on the boat and wind blowing through leaves. Nestled in such an amazing place from where one could run away, in order to get rid of her or his daily life’s disappointments, its pure beauty reminds us what we should do when we go deeper into Kerala’s beauty as our destination for all these years.
Unique Wildlife Encounters
In the calm waters of the backwaters, you can find kingfishers and herons with a variety of different colors living alongside otters and turtles. You would be in an ideal position when sailing along by houseboat or canoe to observe these animals and their habitats which are at times merely a few feet away from you. Backwaters provide for the possibility of easily spotting birds perched on the branch of trees, into the stillness and quiet, or fish darting beneath the surface; hence, It is possible for this to be called a paradise for those who love animals and paradise to people who are into birds.
Uninterrupted Views of Sunrise and Sunset
In the kerala backwaters, you will see how picturesque sunrises at any time of the year can get when viewed from an Alleppey boat house. When the sun rises during early hours of the day, everything in sight gets painted with hues of pink and orange due to its rays reflecting onto the moist surface of water making it look like heaven on earth. During the evening, sunset bathes the landscape in golden light, serenity adding to the picture and winding up the day. Of course, these little glimpses of nature's beauty are all the better because of the fact that you can experience them in the coziness of your own floating cottage, completely surrounded by the sounds and sights of nature only.
Kerala’ s Traditional Way of Life through a window.
Even though a houseboat cruise is communion with nature, it is sure to open your eyes to the age-old traditional way of life of the people of Alappuzha. It will be a journey that involves travelling through the remote hamlets of farmers and fishermen. A scene of children playing at the edge of the water, fishermen casting their nets, or women washing clothes in the canal is a view of the simple beauty that life is in Kerala. Cultural immersion forms an intrinsic part of the stay in the houseboat at Alleppey, enriching your journey with authentic and unforgettable moments.
