Paddle through Alleppey's narrow canals to witness local life and nature up close, an intimate and active alternative to traditional houseboats.
Kayaking in Alleppey offers a way to experience the backwaters that is completely different from the larger houseboats. This activity allows you to paddle through the narrow, intricate network of canals that are too small for bigger boats to enter. As you navigate these quiet waterways, you get a close-up view of daily village life. You'll see residents washing clothes at the water's edge, children playing, and small shops conducting business. The perspective from a kayak is at water level, providing an intimate connection to the environment.
