Houseboat Cruise in Kumarakom

Kerala still boasts many of its original waterways in backwaters of Alleppey or Kumarakom. Take a cruise through the backwaters in Kumarakom for up-close views of verdant rice paddies and verdant coconut groves. We recommend Kumarakom over Alleppey for couples as Kumarakom has vast backwaters unlike the narrow backwater ways in Alleppey which are much more crowded.If you’re planning on visiting the backwaters of Kerala, consider booking a houseboat from August to February. Summer months means humidity, more tourists and overcrowded backwaters, while monsoon brings shuttered businesses and stormy weather and the season we suggested is the best time to go to Kerala that will offer the best food, less crowd and enjoyable climate.
