Experience the timeless charm of the backwaters of Kerala with a houseboat journey. Out of all the attractions, the houseboat is the most famous and the most memorable of Kerala. Kettuvallams, as they are called in the local language, were these traditional boats that carried rice and spices through the canals and backwaters of Kerala. But now, they have been converted into the latest trend in holiday accommodation that is guaranteed to offer the perfect combination of luxury, culture, and nature to the visitors.
It goes without saying what kind of a trip a houseboat tour could be; going slowly through the waterways lined with palms and rice paddies and little villages, one is able to get a unique glance at the essence of Kerala, of which a houseboat cruise is a true part. Houseboat journeys are so memorable because of the serene atmosphere, and the noise of the cities is so far away. It is a peaceful retreat, every moment of which is flooded with calm. With one hand on the tiller and one’s other arm resting unconsciously on the rail of the deck, observers witness daily life along the shore... fishermen throwing their nets, children waving from the bank, and women washing clothes in a rhythmic manner.
