Alappuzha (Alleppey), Kerala
We book houseboats on the canals and Vembanad Lake, plan road trips to Munnar, Thekkady, Kumarakom and Varkala, and meet you at the airport or station.
Who we are
Wings Of Kerala Tours And Travels works out of Alappuzha. Most people come for a night on a houseboat and then want a few days in the hills or by the sea, so we plan the whole trip: the boat, the drives, the hotels and the pickups.
Tell us your dates and who’s coming. We’ll reply with a plan and a price, and keep changing it until it’s right.
Houseboats
About 11am to 5pm
Board in Alleppey late morning and cruise the canals and paddy fields. Lunch is cooked on board, and tea comes out as the light drops.
from ₹6,999 (example) per boat
Noon to 9am next day
Lunch, dinner and breakfast on board. The boat moors near a village for the night, and the bedroom is air-conditioned through the night.
from ₹11,999 (example) per boat
Noon to 9am, larger boat
More room to spread out: an upper deck, a bigger lounge and a better bedroom. A good choice for honeymoons and birthdays.
from ₹17,999 (example) per boat
Timings are typical for Alleppey boats. We confirm exact times and the boat when you book. Ask about a houseboat

Sample honeymoon
An example to start from. Most couples change something, and that’s the idea.
Day 1
We meet you at Kochi airport or the railway station and drive to Alleppey, about two hours. You board a premium houseboat at noon: lunch on the canals, sunset on the deck, dinner on board.
Day 2
Breakfast on the boat and off by nine. The drive to Munnar takes four to five hours, with stops for tea and photos along the way. Check in to a room with a view of the valley.
Day 3
Tea estates and viewpoints in the morning, the afternoon left free. If you’d like a candlelit dinner, we’ll book one.
Day 4
A slow breakfast, then the drive down to Kochi airport for your flight home.
from ₹24,999 (example) per couple. Prefer the beach? Swap Munnar for Varkala. Plan our honeymoon
Made for you
Booking
Send your dates, how many of you are travelling, and whether you want a houseboat, a tour or both.
You get a day-by-day plan and a price for your dates. We change it until it suits you.
Confirm by email. We arrange the boat, the hotels and the car, and meet you when you land.
If you only have one day, the day cruise shows you the backwaters and you still get a proper Kerala lunch. If you can spare a night, stay over: the evening and early morning on the water are the best part.
No, they’re examples. Houseboat rates change with the season and on weekends, so we quote for your exact dates in our reply.
Usually all meals during your stay, a cook and crew on board, and an air-conditioned bedroom at night on overnight boats. We list exactly what’s included when we quote.
Kochi and Trivandrum airports, and Alappuzha and Ernakulam railway stations. Send us your flight or train details and we’ll arrange the car.
Of course. Make it longer or shorter, or swap Munnar for Thekkady, Kumarakom or the beach at Varkala.
Email bookingswingsofkerala@gmail.com with your dates and number of guests. We’ll reply with a plan, a price and the next steps.
