The Kerala Houseboat is the perfect way to experience the calm and unique ecology of the Kerala backwaters. Our office in Cochin on the edge of the backwaters works with all the different houseboats and can offer anything from a one day stay to a month long cruise through the whole backwater system.
The houseboats of Kerala are unique to this area of India and were the historic method for transporting rice and other trade through the aqeous centre of Kerala to the ports on the coast at Kollam, Aleppey and Cochin. In the last twenty years, the boats have been converted to take visitors through the small canals and villages that still inhabit this road-less and car-less world. From your daybed in the bows of the boat you can watch the traditional life of backwater and can enjoy the morning, Kerala continue on this much as it has done for centuries: women washing from the ghats before their houses, farmers shepherding thousands of ducks, paddy fields being flooded and washed or the night fishermen fishing by their lights.Aside from using the enquiry form, please feel free to call the sales and information team on (0091) 98957589 91 / 92 / 93 (Emergency Phone Number (0091) 9895758994 to gather more information and advice.
