How Much Does an Alleppey Houseboat Cost?
An Alleppey houseboat costs from ₹10,000 plus GST per night for a 1-bedroom Deluxe boat with all meals included, rising to ₹96,000 plus GST for an 8-bedroom Luxury boat. A 6-hour day cruise starts from ₹9,000 for two people, and short 2 to 3 hour cruises start from ₹5,000. Your final rate depends on three things: the number of bedrooms, the category (Deluxe, Premium or Luxury) and your travel date.

What Decides an Alleppey Houseboat's Price
Bedrooms
The single biggest factor. Each extra bedroom adds space for 2 to 3 more guests and raises the rate roughly in proportion.
Category
Deluxe, Premium or Luxury - interiors, AC hours, menu and deck quality. Same backwaters, different comfort level.
Season & Date
October to March is peak; Christmas, New Year and festival dates peak hardest. June to September (monsoon) is best value.
Duration
Short 2 to 4 hour cruises cost less than a 6-hour day cruise, which costs less than an overnight stay (about 21 hours on board).
Guest Count
Rates cover standard occupancy; extra guests carry a per-person charge (₹1,000 to ₹2,500 by category).
Meals & Route
Meals are already included. Optional route add-ons like the Kumarakom round add to the base rate.
