The traditional houseboat of Kerala is one of the most enduring images of the backwaters.
These houseboats are converted version of the traditional 'Kuttanadan Kettuvallams', comfortably furnished and offer adequate
accommodation for a whole family, with a sitting room, a bedroom and a kitchen.
These palm covered country boats were designed to carry cargo, such as coconut and spices, and to provide living accommodation for
the boatmen. A few of them are re-designed to offer holidayers makers the ultimate backwater experience.
Preserving their historic character and style, our craftsmen have created a unique atmosphere on board, a
luxurious , self contained world from which to observe rural Indian life flowing gently by. Whether it's an exploratory, overnight cruise through narrow canals, a gentle circum-navigation around the still, vast
water of Lake Vembanad Lake, or a longer passage from Cochin to Alleppey, the experience will be quite different from any other holiday
One couple has the exclusive run of the entire boat ensuring privacy for
honeymooners - and guests are attended to by a personal cook
and two boatmen . There is a cosy double bedroom midship, with an en-suite bathroom, and a beautifully furnished sitting room complete with its own sun deck at the bow. In the stern, there is a fully fitted kitchen.
