There is a private entrance at the boat for the convenience of those who stay. The boat has family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. Staying here was the best part of our 3 week trip. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The bedroom and bathroom were very comfortable and it was lovely to have fresh flowers in the bedroom. We loved relaxing on the loungers and other seats in the open area and viewing all the boats, wildlife and locals in the backwaters. We enjoyed mooring up overnight in a quiet location. The driver and chef were friendly and helpful - we couldn’t have had a better time.

Xandari Riverscapes 3 stars

Alleppey

Xandari Riverscapes are a fleet of house boats which sails along Vembanad Lake and in the backwaters of Alleppey. The houseboats are docked near Pallathuruthy Bridge.

The traditional houseboats, called "kettuvallams" have wood harvested from local jackfruit tree plantations, hand-stitched by local craftsmen with coconut fiber rope. The best experience in all India. We absolutely loved it. The service and food was excellent. It was perfect and our favourite part of our vacations. The crew staff were lovely and they all made our stay great. Thanks!
