Taxi Service in Alleppey

Alappuzha is the backwater capital and, for most itineraries, the houseboat night. It is only 55km south of Kochi, which makes it the easiest first or last stop of a Kerala trip.

Getting around Alleppey

Houseboats board around noon at Punnamada and Finishing Point, and check out by 9am. That timing drives everything: a late airport landing means an evening in town rather than on the water. We time the pickup around your boat operator, not around a fixed slot.

Alleppey taxi — questions we get asked

Where do houseboats board in Alleppey?
Mostly Punnamada jetty and Finishing Point. Confirm with your operator — we drop at whichever they name.
What time should I leave Kochi airport for a houseboat?
Boarding is usually 12 noon. Leaving the airport by 9:30am is comfortable.
Can the driver wait overnight while we are on the boat?
Yes. Overnight stay charges apply, and the driver is at the jetty at checkout next morning.
Alleppey or Kumarakom?
Alleppey has more boats and more life. Kumarakom is quieter and better for resorts. Both are on the same lake.
