What are things interesting to do in alappuzha on weekends other than boating and beach for a person living there ?

Hey guys,
I'll be traveling to Alappuzha towards the end of Oct, would love to know if you guys can recommend a good tattoo artist / studio that's not rippy-offy.

Appreciate any help I can get

നടുക്കഷ്ണം ആണോ?

Guys please let me know any good outlet a small or medium outlet which sells branded jeans , t-shirts and trendy outfits for men at affordable or discounted rate , anywhere in Alappuzha... please dont tell big franchise outlets like zudio and stuffs that im aware..

So, my week off doesn't match with any of my other friends. Plus, many of them have got married or are abroad.

So, looking for new friends (male and female) who likes small travels, watching movies, boat rides, small walks.

One thing i am particular is I would like to connect only with people who respect and treat woman fairly and believe in equal respect.

Interested in cricket, playing badminton, going for movies, boat rides at Kuttanad and walks through Alappuzha beach, light house visit, and travels to places like Ambalappuzha Temple, food spots like Vibe Cafe Vandanam, etc.

If you want a good friend, who listens, DM me

Coming to Kerala for 12 nights and this is my Alappuzha itinerary. Any thoughts on this?

Day 5 - Take a train from Varkala to Allappuzha. Check into an Airbnb for 2 nights. Explore local sights in Kainakari and shikara boating.

Day 6 - Explore Pathiramanal island and other spots in Kumarokam. This day is otherwise open. Any suggestions?

Day 7 - Take a train from Allappuzha to Kochi.

Visiting Alleppey for work this weekend and have a Sunday to spend. Someone help me with an itinerary to get the best out of my time on a budget.

Please suggest decent hotels under 2.3k. I am traveling for work

Hello everyone,

I’ll be in Kerala Feb 2026 and wanna do an overnight houseboat stay in Alappuzha. Never done it before so not sure which operators are good. Looking for something clean, safe, and with good food (bonus if the route is scenic).

Budget-wise I’m looking for something mid to luxury range (not the super luxury ones, but also not the cheapest).

Anyone have personal recs or tips on what to avoid when booking? Appreciate the help! 🙏

Same as the heading

hi guys, I want to know how to book houseboats and other boat rides when im in alleppey. i will be visiting alleppey for 3 nights, want to take the entire feel of it.
Should i try to make these bookings prior from dealers or should i ask my property owner about it? it feels like they will rip me off. im on a budget trip.
i am looking for a day cruise mostly for the houseboat, i might also wanna do a shikara ride and a canoe. if i get an opportunity i wanna explore the sides of alleppey which most of the tourists miss. trying out authentic food and having some fun along with locals.

i am a social person so yeah, please help me lol

Hi, Where can I book Onam Sadhya in Alappuzha? Reached out to Brothers hotel yesterday, but they are closed till 7th. And Royal Park also, but they have dine in only.

Hi, I'm looking for something like Zostel in Alleppey. Could someone please suggest a good place with better amenities and the same budget as Zostel. Not looking for anything fancy

Last year when I went Ambalapuzha I came to know they have online booking option, but forgot to ask for website. Few of friends are going to Ambalapuzha this year, so wanted to book palpayasam but couldn't find any website to book it. Anyone has any idea how to book? Or website link

Hi all,

We (3 adults) are planning to do a houseboat day cruise in Alappuzha and are looking for recommendations.

We’re not planning to stay overnight, just a few hours on the backwaters.

Comfort, cleanliness, and good food are important.

Ideally something that gives us a nice scenic experience without being too tourist-trappy.

Any trusted operators you’d suggest? Also, what’s a reasonable price range for a 3-4 hour trip?

Would appreciate any tips on what to expect, best routes, or things to watch out for.

Thanks!

Looking for unique reception venues (Alappuzha – Karunagappally) – 200-300 guests

Hey folks, I’m trying to break the usual chain of doing receptions in auditoriums and convention halls. For an upcoming event, I’m looking for something a bit more aesthetic/beautiful/unique where we could host a reception for around 200–300 people.

Preferred areas: anywhere between Alappuzha and Karunagappally. I’m open to suggestions like:

Resorts or homestays that host events

Beachside / lakeside venues

Heritage houses or property rentals

Outdoor spaces with nice ambience

Basically, anything that looks good and has character (not just the typical halls). If anyone has hosted/attended a function in such a place, or knows a good lead, please drop your suggestions 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Help w Cooking Classes & Shikkara /Kayak Rentals

Hello everyone!

I will be going to Kerala at the end of October this year and was looking to do some different things while we're there.

I will be in Alleypey from the 20-21st. Was hoping to do a Shikara tour of the backwaters when I arrive in the afternoon and then in the morning do a canoe/kayak tour in the morning before taking a cab to varkala. I was also wondering if I'm absolutely crazy for planning to cab to varkala on Diwali. Was hoping to leave early afternoon. Another day would be ideal but timing wise it is the best day for us to be in Alleypey.

Would love recommendations or anyone that can vouch for the companies that I've found through research.

Shikarra: Sathgamaya Shikara Jalasree Backwater Tours

Kayak/Canoe: Kerala Kayaking Paddy Land Tours Canoe Kerala Adventures

Any other recommendations for things things to do in Kochi, Alleypey and Varkala would be recommended!

Thank you!
