Kumarakom/Allepey - Houseboat    
Back  
Description:
A cruise along the palm-fringed waterways of Kerala in a luxury houseboat is an incredibly different experience. You skim past ancient Chinese fishing nets, water lilies, lush paddy fields, coir villages, rustic homes, temples and coconut groves. A guided tour down the backwaters would provide you with a complete and most enchanting experience on the back waters of Kerala and will also reveal to you some interesting facts about the life of local village people.

   The Houseboats / Kettuvallams of Kerala are giant country crafts, measuring up to 80 feet in length, retrieved from being lost to the State altogether. Once upon a time these houseboats/ Kettuvallams ruled the backwaters, poled along by one or two men, heavily loaded with rice, coconut and other commodities. But in the recent times, the Kettuvallams or rice-barges have been replaced by more and modern modes of transport and these giant 80-foot long crafts have been adapted into luxuriously furnished houseboats. Parts of the curved roof of wood or plaited palm open out to provide shade and allow uninterrupted views. Whenever you will wish, the houseboat stops to let you photograph some of the most scenic points or slowed it's pace where the scenery was more beautiful.
 
Room facilities

The houseboats have all the creature comforts of a good hotel including furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchenette, deck and even a balcony for angling, along with a crew comprising two oarsmen and a cook. Traditional lanterns are used as lights.
