You will be lounging in the best-furnished cabins with a view you cannot find anywhere else in the world, and the entire milieu is ecological. Fresh food, cooked in inimitable Kuttanadan style, is the rage of the international tourists.

Alleppey is the citadel of house boats. There are some 120 of them, well maintained and perfected as luxury liners here. The house boats have all the creature comforts of a good hotel but none of those hassles - well-furnished bedrooms, modern hygienic toilets, cosy living rooms,a beautiful kitchen and in some cases even a balcony for angling.Most house boats are powered by remarkably unobtrusive outboard engines; some others are poled by experienced oarsmen.
