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.
In Kerala house boat cruises, you'll set sail in a traditional Kettuvallam. Your house boat will be equipped with every luxury and safety measures. Not to mention an English speaking crew, including a personal chef, at your service round-the-clock. All materials on board are eco-friendly. From the solar powered energy system, to the décor.
Backwater
cruises in Kerala are carried
out on large converted traditional
boats. "Kettuvalloms" were
traditionally used as grain
barges, to transport the
rice harvested in the fertile
fields alongside the Kerala
Backwaters. Converted to
accommodate tourists, the
houseboats have a sleeping
area, with attached bathrooms,
a separate dining area and
a sit out on the deck.
Centuries
old back waters in
Kerala has become
the new tourist attraction
in India, after the
tourist paradise Kashmir
went into the threat
of militant attacks.
A glide in a "Kettuvallom"
(Houseboat) is sure
to rob your heart.
