Situated within less than 1 km of Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple and 3.1 km of Alleppey Lighthouse, Kalappura Houseboats & Tours features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Alleppey. There is a private entrance at the boat for the convenience of those who stay. The boat has family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests.

We are a couple and went to Alappuzha/Alleppey and asked our host for a boattrip. Fortunately we found Jose Kalappura, he organized a convenient tailormade experience on two private traditional boats with modern facilities. We were lucky, because beforhand we didn't know the difference between cheaper tours on big boats vs. smaller boats with individual trip and different private experience. We startet with a tour on a small boat and went through smaller channels having local Breakfast, bigger boats can't pass there. Ad 12:00 we skipped on a different boat with private panoramic area on the first floor. We where alone, a really romantic trip. Having typical local fresh Lunch cooked on board by a chef, we stopped on the course for sightseeing. After a slow trip on a quite channel we could see a beautyful sunset and we had Dinner. We had a good Night in a full equipped clean room as we would expect in a city hotel. Our Captain found a good spot away from the busy areas where we enjoyed a beautyful sunrise. After a local Breakfast we left the boat with a big smile because of this outstanding experience. Thanks again to Jose and the Crew.

    It's a nice quiet location with a lovely view. Only a 5 minute walk to the bar at the Ramada hotel. Friendly staff arranged the nice houseboat trip. The houseboat was very clean. It had the softest and cleanest bedding I've had during my last 2 weeks in India. The 3 guys taking care of us on the boat were great fun and friendly. They could not have been more attentive. The good cook, funny captain, and the fab singing caretaker all made us feel welcome and relaxed.

    Location is perfect right on the water’s edge, loved the wood! - we enjoyed the views, took out a Shakira and really loved the recommended walk. Nice to have an alternative stay in Alleppey without going on a houseboat. Jeswin was so helpful with all and a pleasure to meet.
