Drive towards backwaters to the houseboat. In the afternoon, board your private houseboat. An environmentally friendly vessel unique to Kerala’s placid waterways. Prior to their conversion to passenger boats with all the modern comforts, these traditional craft known as kettuvallom once plied these waters as rice barges. Coir (coconut fiber rope) and resin from cashew kernels, not nails, hold the kettuvallom together – a ship making practice passed down through the centuries. The uniqueness of Kerala has always been its Backwaters, and no place in the world is blessed with this mesmerizing beauty. It is the reason; this heaven is called “GOD ‘S OWN COUNTRY!” Overnight at houseboat (B,L,D) Read more
