Alappuzha, popularly known as Alleppey, is one of the most famous backwater destinations in Kerala. Tourists from different parts of the world visit this place to enjoy the peaceful beauty of lakes, canals, and coconut-lined waterways. One of the most affordable ways to experience this beauty is through a sharing boathouse.
A sharing boathouse (also called a shared houseboat) allows travelers to book a private cabin inside a large houseboat while sharing common spaces like the dining area, living room, and upper deck with other guests. These boats usually have 2 to 8 bedrooms, making them ideal for couples, solo travelers, and small families who want a budget-friendly houseboat experience.
Sharing boathouses in Alleppey offer comfortable facilities such as private bedrooms with attached bathrooms, air-conditioning (usually at night), and onboard dining areas. Most packages include welcome drinks, traditional Kerala lunch, evening tea and snacks, dinner, and breakfast the next morning. The houseboat cruise generally begins around 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM and ends at about 9:00 AM the next day.
The price for sharing boathouses usually starts from around ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 per couple, depending on the type of boat and facilities provided. Premium shared houseboats with better interiors and full-time air conditioning may cost a little more.
During the cruise, travelers can enjoy the natural beauty of the backwaters, watch local village life, see fishermen at work, and relax while the boat slowly moves through canals and lakes.
