Alleppey, also called Alappuzha, is a famous place in Kerala known for its beautiful backwaters. One of the best ways to enjoy these backwaters is by staying on a sharing houseboat.

A sharing houseboat is a large boat where different groups of people share the same boat. Each group gets a private bedroom and bathroom, but spaces like the dining area and open deck are shared with other guests. This makes it cheaper than renting a private houseboat and is great for meeting new people.

These houseboats, called kettuvallams, are made of wood and have comfortable interiors. The cruise takes travelers through narrow canals, big lakes, green paddy fields, and small villages. People can see coconut trees, fishermen, birds, and beautiful nature all around.
