Kerala Houseboat Cruises are one of the highlights of your Kerala Tour. For those who would prefer to avoid the frenzied activity on a vacation, who wish to rest and relax in the very lap of nature, to enjoy luxury in the privacy of a cabin and yet not remain pent up in a hotel, for those who wish to experience the beauty of rural life combined with the advantages of an urban living, a houseboat cruise is the perfect answer. Kerala, with its 900 km of tranquil, emerald backwaters offers the perfect opportunity for such quintessential tranquility and an enchanting holiday.
Kerala is crisscrossed by 5 major lakes, innumerous canals and lagoons and the estuaries, and deltas of forty-four seething rivers and these make up the famed backwaters where the majestic houseboats ply. The favored districts for houseboat cruises in Kerala are Kollam, Alappuzha, Kottayam and Kochi. The Ashtamudi Lake being the second longest backwater stretch in Kerala offers a long idyllic siesta in your houseboat cruise. The tourist season lasts through the winter months and it is advisable to book your cruises well in advance.
The Houseboats:
A luxury houseboat or Ketuvallom offers 5 star luxuries in the middle of the calm backwaters. Enjoy modern amenities such as an AC, a Jacuzzi, a lavish bed, separate dining quarters and an open deck well equipped with board games such as Chess, Scrabble and Playing Cards. Pursue your favorite activities such as fishing, painting, reading (from the well furnished houseboat library) and listening to the romantic numbers on a high-tech music system available onboard. Maps Of India brings you complete information on the various Houseboats In Kerala.
The Attraction:
Sail through the quaint fishing hamlets and revel in the rustic charm of their simple lives. From the plush cushions of your houseboat, view the beauties of the world around you; the sheer pink lotus that flowers at dawn and the white water lilies that bloom at moonrise; the lush green paddy fields on either side and the farmers humming rhythmically as they work; come nightfall, a sleep under the starry skies fanned by the cool breeze of the sea as the faint notes of the fisherman’s songs induce the most charming dreams; life seems almost perfect.
Meals on these houseboats are a special attraction. Freshly caught fishes and other sea food, cooked by an in-house cook and served steaming hot in an authentic traditional style promises to be a gastronomic delight you would love to indulge in. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the sunlight deck or the luxuriant dining quarters of these opulent vessels is an amazing experience..
