KERALA- HOLIDAY IN HOUSE BOAT
Stay in Kerala House Boats on
Backwaters of Kerala :
Kerala
offers a unique mini - canvas to the traveller; the
backwaters, which consist of a complex network of lagoons,
lakes & canals. Life on the backwaters is entirely
different; water being the key to everything. There are no
roads here, only waterways. On the banks one can see lush
green rice fields spreading away into the distance and
coconut groves with the occasional temple or church.
These canals or waterways, vary in dimension from being wide
enough to be dubbed lakes, rich with marine bounty. To being
nothing but snaking silvers of freshwater. And are mainly
concentrated around the townships of allepey, kumarakom,
kottayam, quilon and cochin.
The backwaters are best experienced while slowly punting
down the labyrinth of canals in a traditional thatch-roofed
houseboat, known as 'kettuvallam'. An experience you will
savour for a long time.

The houseboats are renovated cargo boats… kettuvallams… and
are provided with all modern conveniences and comforts to
make your stay a pleasant experience. To complement the
traditional way of rowing using large poles, outboard
engines are also provided. The boats are designed to
facilitate a most eco-friently functioning.
A wide selection of beautiful routes are available for the
cruises and you can choose one that suits your budget and
time frame. Each route is comprehensive, serene and
enjoyable in itself, extending to you a complete experience
of kuttand.. The unique waterland of kerala.
