The most exciting part of backwater cruising is the splendid journey through a fabulous houseboat (Kettuvallam).You can experience the magnificence of inland waterways of Kerala, enjoying the ‘Kuttandau’  cuisines to soothe your appetite.  You can feel the rain drops drizzling over the water ways, gentle sunlight percolate through the shady vegetations at the banks, even by sitting with your sweet pals inside your house boats.

Like hotels, houseboats vary in degree of luxury and have been accordingly graded by the Department of Tourism of Kerala. A luxury houseboat, like a luxury hotel has fine furniture, good carpets and modern bathroom fittings, while the ‘D category’ (the lowest category) of houseboats, like low-budget hotels, is spartanly furnished.

The cost per day of hiring a houseboat includes all meals and free rides from the houseboat to the nearest shore and back.
