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!
