Kerala houseboat tours are the best means to explore the enchanting beauty of the backwaters of Kerala. Kerala, also known as “Gods Own Country,” is gifted with a large number of attractive natural features that make it a destination of choice. Houseboat tours in Kerala are usually well-organized, with maximum focus given to the comfort of the visitors. There is no better way than houseboat tours to enjoy the simple beauty of rural Kerala.
The houseboats arranged to conduct tours are beautifully constructed with eco-friendly materials. Traditionally, the houseboat was called ‘kettuvallam,’ which is a boat made by tying together pieces of jack wood planks with coir ropes. These are then coated with black resin made from boiled cashew nut shells. Now the traditional ‘kettuvallams’ have been replaced by more modern modes of transportation with luxurious interiors. The houseboat provides you with various accommodation options such as AC and non-AC single, double and triple rooms. Some houseboats offer the luxury of a private balcony and sun decks with comfortable chairs. The houseboats have kitchens where authentic Kerala food is prepared. The dishes are made using fresh materials which are purchased locally to promote local support and improve the economy of the villages. These traditional foods are cooked by experts observing high hygiene standards, and with professional competence.
Kerala houseboat tour operators offer a number of attractive packages if you want to go cruising along the palm-fringed waterways. The popular backwater destinations of Kerala are Kumarakom, Kuttanad, Kottayam, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. Kerala houseboat tours can be arranged to some of the most enchanting places in Kerala with options for sightseeing of coir villages, paddy fields, temples and towns.
Kerala houseboat tours along the state’s backwaters will surely be a captivating experience for you and your loved ones. Tourists opting for Kerala houseboat tours have the excellent opportunity to enjoy the scenic landscape and breathtaking beauty of the backwaters while relishing traditional Kerala cuisine. |
