The food was amazing! We were unable to finish it all though!! Gorgeous scenery The sound of the birds at dusk and dawn was really special Where we moored overnight you could not hear any beeping horns. A first for our Indian trip! The boat was lovely and very well maintained. We travelled along serenely with hardly any engine noise

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!

    Honestly the best experience of our trip to India, cruising along the backwaters was incredible. The crew were so kind to us and made us incredible food including a banana leaf platter for lunch, snacks and dinner! We felt very looked after. The bedroom was so much nicer than I expected for a houseboat as was the bathroom. I think the best part about this boat when I compared it to others was the fact it had a balcony. Not many 2 person boats did. I really recommend this houseboat.

    Not too much detail here, as arrived late afternoon and departed for a houseboat stay the next morning. We saw on here that people felt that the short canoe ride required to get to the property was a negative, but it added fun to the trip for us. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast delivered to our veranda outside room was ample. Room wasn't huge, but worked for the one night we needed it for. Lovely spot on the river.
