Palms, aquatic life and beautiful skies will be plentiful to provide you with many chances for some great photographs. Whether you are enjoying a family holiday with your spouse and kids, or simply getting away with your husband or wife, the Alleppey houseboat tours are some of the most enjoyable, relaxing, romantic and intimate you can find.
Scenic Views of the Area
The waterways you will be traveling down are wide and smooth. The gentle ripples of the water create a slow and tranquil path for your houseboat to travel down. Depending on the houseboat you reserve for your vacation, you will be able to enjoy traditional craftsmanship, comfortable bedrooms, relaxing lounge areas, and plenty of seating for enjoying your meals on board. You won’t want to miss the views outside the boat either, as you pass by thick groves of palm trees, lush tropical habitats, and a number of growing fields for all types of crops. Along the way you will also pass and be passed by other houseboats, each one uniquely different in size, shape and design. Be sure to have your camera ready since the boats themselves are truly a work of art.
