What Happens on an Overnight Houseboat Stay?
An overnight houseboat stay is the classic Alleppey experience - roughly 18–20 hours on board, split between an afternoon cruise, a peaceful night anchored on the backwaters, and a misty morning cruise back. It's the difference between visiting the backwaters and actually living on them, even if just for one night.
