Lake Vembanad Houseboat

Cast yourself adrift on Kerala's quintessential houseboat cruise

For the intrepid traveler, we recommend an early morning stroll around the shores of Vembanad Lake as the sun rises. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast after which your guide can take you to Pallaturuthy, from where you will embark on a traditional kettuvallam houseboat to cruise the backwaters of Southern Kerala. Thick foliage and tropical greenery lines these shores, within which lie a slice of Kerala’s old world charm cut off from contemporary influences. Stop off from time to time to explore the villages on foot to meet the locals and get to know more about their lives.
