Houseboats Backwater Holiday in kerala

Kerala is famous for its sprawling backwaters and lush green vegetation. It is also rich in culture and heritage with temples, churches and mosques that have immense architectural value in addition of being important religious places. From wildlife to life in the villages you will find here everything worth seeing. Kerala tours are incomplete without a visit to the back waters and spending at least one night at the houseboats.

The house boats have an interesting history. In the ancient times a specific craft called Kettuvallam was employed for the making of the houseboats. Today, modern houseboats do not miss to pay tribute to the original art and thus stick to the traditional design. They are constructed keeping the commitment to nature in mind and are fitted with solar lights, chemical toilets and outbound engines. Thus the house boats are peerless in the manner they cruise through the back waters and enable one to soak the charm of the place.
 
Other major attractions are Kumarakom and Vembanand Lake where you can enjoy the comfortable cruise in the backwaters up to Alleppey which is a beautiful village and you can indulge in overnight stay there.
