The houseboat offers all aspects of luxury while cruising the backwaters of Kuttnad,alleppey.Made out of wood,boat has to offer more than a normal house boat cruising experience.Studded with the choicest of things,ranging from glass walls to Jacuzzi,the boat pampers your senses while being cradled in the arms of the serene back waters.A cruise along the palm fringed backwaters in boat gives a life time experience to cherish. The Houseboats of Kerala or Kettuvallams are giant country rafts,measuring upto 80 foot in length,retrieved from being lost to the State altogether.In the olden days,there rice barges ruled the backwaters,poled along by one or two men,heavily loaded with rice,coconut and other commodities.But in the recent times,the kettuvallams or houseboats have been replaced by more and modern modes of transportation,paving way for these boats to enter the ever enchanting world of tourism.

About Carnival Tours @ Holidaycheck.de schon von Deutschland aus wurde diese Tour bei Peter von Carnival Tours gebucht, pünktlich wurden wir mit Bussen in kleiner Gruppe zu 8 Personen im Hafen von Kochi abgeholt. Nach ca 60 Minuten Fahrt kamen wir an der Hausbootstation an. Dort lagen jede Menge Boote und warteten auf Gäste. Das klein Venedig Indiens ist wunderschön, wir fuhren ca 4 Stunden durch die Kanäle, eine Ruhe, man konnte toll entspannen.
