Kuttanad Houseboats

A Kuttanad Houseboats is a large vessel used in the waters of Kuttanad for tourists; ironically, it was not designed and introduced for tourists. As Kerala has a unique landscape with prosperous fresh water body, your endless mercy the almighty! It is so easy to move bulk cargo through water. To manage efficient heavy cargo moving, in olden days, huge water vessels were introduced which float royally and worth fully, through the waters of Kerala; a land fondled by raindrops. Those vessels were named "Kettuvalloms" or "Kuvuvalloms" are the ancestors of what we call 'houseboat' or boat house, in these days . Legend: Kettu – Knot, to tie etc ….. Vallom - Boat Kevu - Cargo, goods etc….. Vallom - boat

Aldex Huxley says "Man is an amphibian who lives in two worlds the given and the home made" . When he feels tired by the home made life he, spontaneously, looks for the given one for his genius is cheek and jowl only with the lap of Mother Nature. Kuttanad Houseboats tourism is exclusively a destination to heal the wounds of the hectic humanity.

We open creative opportunities to cruise many back water villages. One can roam through the deserted bunds of paddy fields where variety of species of plantains under palm shades; a gathering of eternal beauty and you !

Kuttanad Backwater

The Kuttanad region is a vast area of partly reclaimed land, covered with bright green paddy fields, separated by dikes. The level of water is a few feet higher than the level of the surrounding land. It is an amazing labyrinth of shimmering waterways composed of lakes, canals, rivers and rivulets. Lined with dense tropical greenery, it offers a glimpse into rural life-styles of Kerala. Kuttanad is a backwater paradise and an ideal destination for a backwater cruise in Kerala. It is possible to drift along in a houseboat and enjoy the scenic view of the Kerala countryside.
