Kumarakom
Lounging on a deck chair, moving gently, immersed in a rippling , scented silence. Aptly referred to as the Queen of the backwaters, the Houseboat transports you into a different era.
With a few tweaks to the hull, partitioned bedrooms and all the modern conveniences added, these ‘Kettuvalloms’ as they are called, have been converted into elegant floating homes that cruise the inland sea of the Vembanad. Made completely from natural materials, the boats are powered by solar energy and vegetable oil. Canopies of cane and rattan blend into coir-matted decks creating a warm, natural ambience that’s almost entirely hand-crafted.
All meals are on board.
Overnight in Houseboat.
