    Default Kerala Houseboat Tip

    Kerala Houseboat Tip




    House boats are available in all kinds of sizes and shapes with varying interiors. Generally each houseboat has a suite with an attached bathroom, one living room,
    kitchenette, an open lounge, deck and a three member crew comprising a captain, a cook and steward. You have air conodtioned and non a/c boats. Air conidtioning is generally
    powered by generators.

    You check in by noon and you are taken on a 6 hour cruise through the wonderful labyrinth of canals along the Vembanad lake criss crossing through
    the villages which gives you an idea of the life by the backwaters. You get to see houses, churches, temples, paddy cultivation, fishing, etc…
    In between you are served lunch and snacks. You have the options of either enjoying the silence of nature or watching a movie followed by dinner before you retire for the night.
