The houseboats of Kuttanad are like splendorous palaces afloat on the waterways. These boast have been converted into architecturally elegant living rooms from the traditional Kettuvalloms, which are huge cargo boats used for transporting goods. More than 200 such house boats are currently operating in Kuttanad. A stay on these boats, if possible with one’s family and friends for one or several days, while cruising along the waterways and relishing the culinary delights prepared by a “personal chef on board” has proved to be unforgettable experience for many tourists.

Air-conditioned house boats offering all the amenities of a modern villa are now available in Kuttanad. They offer all the homely coziness and comforts while the tourist can savor the breathtaking scenic views of the waterways. One also gets an opportunity to see how the local delicacies served on the house boats are prepared prior to each meal. Night stay in a house boat in the idyllic surroundings of the backwaters is a truly enchanting experience.
