Wow! it was a wonderful cruise on the Kerala houseboat in Kumarakom which is very popular among all tourists from India and all over the world. We experienced the houseboat cruise in 2013 and 2014. Now we enjoyed the third cruise organised by the Cruise in Kerala who also owns the boat. Its a beauty just like a star hotel on the water with AC rooms, hot water & with all the facilities, with kitchen, dinning & rest room to rest. You can arrange with the resort of your choice, 1. only cruise. 2. Lunch Cruise. 3. Overnight Cruise. The Vembanadu Lake is one of the largest around here and it is calm & cool. The local dishes cooked on board are very delicious and superb. The cruise will take you to the local village along the lake where you can buy fresh, fish, lobster, large prawns and other seafood. It was a wonderful experience for my daughter Edel Socorro Ann as the resort gave her a surprise Birthday cake to celebrate on board. Beautiful scenery & sunset that you will enjoy while relaxing with sumptuous food and cool, cool breeze. Don’t miss it when you in Kerala, "Gods own country.
