The boat also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. The boat trip on whynot houseboat was an immense experience. The entire atmosphere inside the house boat was wonderful. From the moment  we start the cruise the staffs were friendly and very loyal to us. The food they preaperd for us had less spicy than we expected and also there were plethora of dishes had been servered on the table. The boat was well maintained and clean, I don't think so whether I can found an another boat with this much facilities and services. They were using  filtered water for all the purpose on their portfolio of boats. Whynot houseboat takes us to the mesmerizing scenic views which can be experienced on the backwaters.

Xandari Riverscapes are a fleet of house boats which sails along Vembanad Lake and in the backwaters of Alleppey. The houseboats are docked near Pallathuruthy Bridge.

The traditional houseboats, called "kettuvallams" have wood harvested from local jackfruit tree plantations, hand-stitched by local craftsmen with coconut fiber rope. Beautiful experience, very well-served by Sujith, Sony and Venu with delicious food and drinks. Wasn't expecting small boat ride, but it was an excellent extra. Got an introduction about the route which was very helpful.
