Kerala Houseboat Packages: A Unique Backwater Experience

Kerala’s houseboat cruises are world-famous, offering a magical journey through the serene backwaters of “God’s Own Country.” Gliding past lush paddy fields, Chinese fishing nets, lotus-filled canals, and traditional villages, this is one of India’s most enchanting holiday experiences.

Originally used to transport goods, these large wooden boats—once essential to Kerala’s inland trade—have been transformed into luxurious floating homes. Built with eco-friendly materials like bamboo, coir, and coconut fiber, modern houseboats now feature 1 to 8 air-conditioned bedrooms, private bathrooms, kitchens, and viewing decks.

A full-board cruise offers not only comfort but a rare glimpse into village life along the backwaters—making it an unforgettable journey.
