Responsible Boat Trip

Explore the Backwaters on a Sustainable Boat Trip

Explore Alleppey, often referred to as the Venice of the East! Immerse yourself in the allure of responsible tourism, taking a captivating boat trip through the enchanting backwaters. Our commitment to eco-friendly experiences guarantees not only the enjoyment of scenic landscapes but also active participation in the preservation of this unique environment.

Waste Management

First off, waste management. It’s a big deal. Our boat trips should be more than just an escape; they should be a leave-no-trace adventure. So, when we’re tossing stuff, let’s be mindful. Recycle whatever we can use those compost bins for the organic leftovers, and keep the trash in check. The lake is beautiful; let’s keep it that way.

Single Use Plastic

To enhance our commitment to sustainability, we’ve eliminated the use of single-use plastic on our kettuvallam houseboats. Guests embarking on the Kerala backwater cruise are welcomed with an unlimited supply of glass bottles, each filled with freshly purified water and are thoughtfully refilled daily and marked with the corresponding date. Even during outdoor activities, such as canoe rides, we prioritize eco-friendliness by offering guests glass bottles instead of plastic alternatives. We actively encourage everyone to carry back any plastics they may have brought along, fostering a collective effort towards responsible tourism.

Local Employment

Most of the people working at kettuvallam come from the villages near Chennamkary. We have a team of over 40 staff members, and our goal is to help locals find jobs and improve their families’ lives. We hire canoes from local boatmen, giving them a way to make a living. We also pay for activities in village homes, making sure that the people sharing their lives with our guests are compensated for their time and efforts, making the interactions truly special.
