In our package trip to Kerala, an overnight stay at the Houseboat was included. We boarded the Houseboat from Alleppey and believe me the trip was worth taking. The magnificient view of the calm Backwaters lined with Coconut groves on bothe sides of the canal and vast paddy fields lay beyond it.
Traditional Kerala cuisine was served on the House boat for Lunch, Dinner and Breakfast.
The room was very comfortable and the toilet was so neat and clean, we never felt it was a boat with all the modern facilities available . The boat had a deck on top of the roof with tables and small sofas to sit and view the beauty that the backwaters had to offer, one can never get this type of beauty anywhere. Truly Kerala is really " GODS OWN COUNTRY"
During sunset the waters were glimming with the sunrays and the water all around had a golden sheen. When the boats are parked for the night you can have a walk around the small village and see Kerala more locally and traditionally. You meet the local people, shops and see the traditional way of Transportation in Kerala how everything can be transported by boat .
The morning was very different when we could feel the fresh air around the canal and how everything was so peaceful, calm and beautiful which we people are deprived of in our Daily busy lives in the City.
