We finally made it to Kerala and that means taking our first houseboat tour on the Kerala Backwaters!! We decided to spoil ourselves and get a private houseboat tour so that we could fully relax and enjoy the backwaters as much as possible during our one day in Kerala. In this video we share with you what it's like to take a private houseboat on the Kerala backwaters and also give lots of information on how to plan your own trip here! A houseboat tour in Kerala really is an exceptional experience, so we hope this video is a helpful guide to the Kerala backwaters in India that can be used by anyone traveling in India and planning this awesome backwater adventure :)

We based our houseboat tour out of Alleppey, Kerala, which is a really popular spot for tourists in India to explore the backwaters from. We were able to take the train here from Goa and easily organized a houseboat tour once we arrived in the town. If you are a foreigner in India and are headed to Alleppey, definitely plan to spend a night on a houseboat to make the most of the trip, because in our experience, there isn't too much else to do in the town. For anyone in India, Alleppey is absolutely worth visiting just for the Kerala backwaters, but if we were planning your trip to the backwaters, we would recommend just two nights (one night before your houseboat tour, and one night on the houseboat).

It is hard to believe it, but this is our last stop in India!!! Houseboating on the Kerala backwaters was the perfect way to round out our trip in India. It has been a whirlwind and we have seen and learned so much in our 6 weeks here. We are already dreaming of where we will visit the next time we are in India, but for we are heading to a new country that we CANNOT wait to share with you!
