Non AC Standard Day Trip — Private Houseboat

The Non AC Standard Day Trip is a private houseboat for a day cruise (roughly 11:30 AM to 5:00 PM, no overnight) in Alleppey (Alappuzha), Kerala. It costs ₹6,500 per trip (ex-GST), is non-AC (fan-cooled), and boards at the Nehru Trophy Finishing Point, Punnamada.

Who is this houseboat best for?

Anyone in Alleppey for a single day, a family with small children for whom a night aboard is a lot, or an office outing. It is a daytime cruise with no overnight stay — roughly 11:30 AM to 5:00 PM — and since nobody uses a bedroom, the boat carries a larger party than it sleeps and the per-head cost falls sharply with group size.

How much does the Non AC Standard Day Trip cost?

It is the cheapest day trip boat we run. Above it, the Deluxe AC Day Trip is ₹7,500, ₹1,000 more again.

Day cruises in our fleet run from ₹6,500 to ₹7,500. See them all on the day trip page.

Is a non-AC houseboat comfortable?

It depends on the month. This is a naturally ventilated boat with ceiling fans, which is the Standard tier. Pleasant through the monsoon and the cool December–January window, and hard work from February to May when the afternoons are hot. If you are travelling in those months, an air-conditioned boat is worth the difference.

What happens on the day cruise?

A day trip runs roughly 11:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Lunch is cooked aboard as you move out through the Punnamada canals; the boat crosses open lake, turns into the Kuttanad village channels, and is back at the jetty by five.
