Kerala Houseboat Tour – Once in a Lifetime Experience

Have you ever wanted to explore the rustic village life in Kerala while staying on the waters? Have you ever dreamed of seeing skiff fishermen launching their cockleshell boats? Have you ever wanted to see the large flocks of tame ducks gliding into the water from the thatched houses on the banks? – If so, then Houseboats in Kerala serve as the best possible medium for all your desires.

kettuvalloms (huge traditional boats in Kerala) were previously used to transport tons of rice, spices and other similar materials. In recent years these have been refurbished as ‘luxury houseboats’ to give tourists the true joy of spending their holidays on enchanting backwaters. Houseboats provide a wonderful opportunity to discover the enchanting backwaters and lively villages of Kerala.

Characteristics of houseboats
Ketuvalloms are converted into houseboats using only natural products such as bamboo mats, sticks, aracanut and coconut wood, coconut fiber mats, wooden planks, etc. Even the lighting arrangement is done with solar panels.

Modern houseboats are equipped with all the comforts and amenities of a star hotel, including furnished rooms, modern bathrooms, cozy living rooms, a kitchen, and even a balcony for angling. Each houseboat also features a sun deck, spacious living/dining room, spacious hallway, fire extinguishers, secure fuel storage facilities, good quality linen blankets and towels, and professional cooks.

Vembanad Lake in Kerala is known as the largest stretch of backwater in the entire state. It takes you to Alappuzha, Kottayam, Kochi and several other places. These eco-friendly houseboats take you on a journey through the untouched and inaccessible countryside of Kerala.
