you will enjoy day houseboat trip for 02 days , House boat converted from a
Kettavallum or traditional rice barge, and sail the beautiful backwaters of
Kerala. This large aquatic area is a vast network of lagoons, lakes, rivers
and canals, and the people who live in this region have created their own distinct
lifestyles. From our comfortable houseboats we witness the peaceful way of life
on these amazing waterways . Houseboat : No trip to Kerala is complete without
a backwater cruise on a houseboat. In Earlier times Kettuvalloms were the crafts
used in the houseboats and Modern houseboats are a tribute to traditional design,
ingenuity, aesthetic values and commitment to the environment. Many of them
are equipped with solar lighting, chemical toilets and outboard engines for
when you want to skim the waters. The best way to cruise the backwaters of Kerala
however, is in a leisurely laid-back manner with your weather beaten poleman
gently gliding the boat across the waters, leaving you time to take in the sights.
And the sights are there for the taking.
