Houseboat Facilities

Typical facilities include:
  • Double rooms in a two room- apartment houseboat
  • Sitting room, and small Sundeck
  • Attached bathroom with European Toilets
  • Common living area

    Most houseboats are single or double roomed and sleep 2 to 4, tho the most romantic sleeping space is under mosquito nets on the small sundeck waking with the dawn and the distant call of the temples and churches that dot the backwaters.

    All your food is cooked for you by the crew and combines local fish such blackspot, tiger prawns and scampi as well as curried dishes, daal and rice.

    The rhythm on the boat is slow like the pace of life on the backwaters as you navigate through the narrow waterways watching Indian village life in a constant moving panorama before you.

    A fleet of Houseboats contains:
    One bedded accommodation
    Two bedded accommodation
    Large boats for families.

    Kerala Water Transport Corporation operates a number of regular boat services between various coastal towns and villages in the backwaters regions. Besides this govt - owned undertaking, private boats also are available for special trips and cruising.
