Glide through palm-fringed backwaters on a traditional houseboat to spot local wildlife and village life along the shore. Nearby Ambalapuzha Temple offers both spiritual significance and the chance to taste its famous 'palpayasam' sweet milk pudding.
We had a great time on this trip. The food was excellent. The crew was very attentive and we had a lot of fun dancing and singing. I highly recommend using Upperdeck Houseboats for your next trip.

This is my second time to Punnamada and I am anxious to go back for a third. The location is far enough from town to offer tranquility, but close enough for convenience. The Lakeside rooms are worth every extra rupee. The staff will jump over the moon to please you without making a big production. Each and every one is wonderful.

Loved my stay on Marvel. Did two nights and enjoyed every minute. The staff was wonderful, professional and kind. Food was amazing, especially the celebratory lunch that was served on my second day. Absolutely beautiful cruise - highly recommend this experience.

The boat had one bedroom made up of two twin beds. The shower was limited. Remember to bring bug spray for mosquitoes. Very relaxing tour in the afternoon. You dock to sleep. Breakfast was a short ride around the river. Beautiful way to see the culture and see the birds from a distance. Modified meals towards your diet. Can be very romantic for couples. All meals are provided and included on the boat.
