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.
