Kerala Backwaters

Kerala offers a unique mini-canvas to the traveller; the backwaters - which consist of complex networks of lagoons, lakes & canals. Life on the backwaters is entirely different; water being the key to every thing as there are no roads here, only water ways. The banks of the backwaters are covered with lush green rice fields spreading away into the distance and coconut groves with the occasional villages, little temples and whitewashed churches.

The backwaters are best experienced while slowly punting down the labyrinth of canals in a traditional thatch-roofed houseboat, known as "KETTUVALLAM" which were used as Rice barges to transport paddy and other produce from village to village. This is a fascinating experience and one you will savour for a long time.

RICE BOATS Remodeled traditional thatch-roofed rice boats called "Kettuvallams", with single and double bedrooms, kitchenette and bathroom. These Houseboats do not have any electricity and in evening the Hurricane lamps add to the overall ambience and unique experience.

Food offered is Kerala cuisine both vegetarian and non- vegetarian (fresh fish & chicken). An ice box on board keeps your Soft drinks and Beer cool and there is fresh water stored in the tanks for bathing etc. For drinking bottled Mineral water is supplied.
