Kerala is known for its beautiful landscapes, historic towns and peaceful backwaters. In Cochin, you can explore old streets, historic buildings and the lively waterfront. As you travel to Alleppey, the scenery changes to quiet canals, green paddy fields and coconut trees. An overnight houseboat stay gives you time to enjoy the backwaters, watch village life along the banks and experience a different side of Kerala at a relaxed pace.
This overnight houseboat stay lets you enjoy the backwaters at a relaxed pace. You can sit on the deck, watch other boats pass by and see local people going about their daily lives along the banks. There is plenty of time to enjoy the views, click photographs and relax as the houseboat moves through the canals. Freshly prepared Kerala meals are served on board during the journey. In the evening, the houseboat stops at a quiet spot for the night. You can enjoy the calm surroundings and wake up to lovely morning views of the backwaters. It is a wonderful experience for couples, families and solo travelers who want to spend a night on the water and see a different side of Kerala.
Below are the key stops on this overnight houseboat experience:
After your houseboat stay, return to Cochin for a city tour. Visit Fort Kochi, St. Francis Church, Dutch Palace, Jewish Synagogue and the famous Chinese fishing nets before departure.
Enjoy a cruise through the backwaters of Alleppey aboard a private deluxe houseboat. You will enjoy freshly prepared meals, evening snacks and views of village life before spending the night on board.
Here’s why choosing our 1 night 2 days houseboat experience is the smart choice:
The best time for a houseboat experience is from October to February, when the weather is cool and pleasant. During this period, the backwaters look beautiful with clear skies and a gentle breeze which makes the cruise relaxing. Early mornings feel calm and fresh, while evenings offer lovely sunset views. This season is also great for sightseeing and photography. Summers are hot and humid, while the monsoon months bring heavy rain which may affect the houseboat experience.

Memorable Travel experiences with Tra-Emiy. I booked Tra-eminent for two trips this summer back to back. I went to Do-Dham and Puri. Jag is amazing and very helpful he worked with me very patiently. I had to change my plans very often and he was ready to accommodate my plans. When I reached at the airport they received me very cordially. The drivers and guides they provide are amazing they made my trip memorable. If anyone is planning to visit India and wants to travel Tra-Eminent is the best option to choose. I highly recommend them. It is also budget friendly. I had a fabulous trip with beautiful experiences, only with the help of Tra-Eminent entire team. Thank you Jag and team for taking care of your customers with such great service. Date of experience: August 2023

Amazing Experience. Myself and two of my friends booked with Shivani and Sunny for a 12 day tour of rajesthan covering Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Pushkar, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Udaipur. Shivani was recommended to me by my brother who did the same tour with her a few years back. Firstly, I would like to say how much peace of mind you have when booking through this agency. Shivani was pretty much on WhatsApp whenever I needed her and guided me through the booking process. We opted for the 4* hotel package and many a time we were upgraded - the hotel selections were absolutely fabulous - ranging from leela’s to beautifully maintained Haveli style hotels. The locations were also great as we were never too far of a drive from the main attractions. We had an English speaking guide for the main attractions and this is highly recommended - without a guide it can be difficult to understand what exactly you’re looking at or the history/background of the palace or fort. The guide selections were also on the whole great. The driver which we had was amazing. Initially my family had some reservations as we were three young girls travelling with a male unknown driver but the driver (Manjit) was possibly the sweetest person I have ever met. He treated us like his own family; we never once had to make sure we didn’t leave any valuables in the car - he is such an honest person and reliable too. In the evenings, if we wanted to go out for dinner he wouldn’t complain or grumble in taking us and helped us with restaurant choices etc Overall we had the best trip - it’s always been a dream to tour this side of India and with this agency I was able to do so in a safe, affordable and beautiful way. I can’t wait to book further trips with you next year! Thank you so much again for your help. Date of Experience: March 2019
