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.
