Confused about choosing between a houseboat day cruise or an overnight cruise? Here's the difference between Alleppey houseboat day cruise and overnight cruise.

Alleppey houseboats offer a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Kerala, its greenery, and its unique culture. The lush green banks of Vembanad Lake make for an enchanting cruise on the backwaters of Alleppey. Enjoy the view as birds chirp and the water glides by.
