We had a very relaxing and plesent stay at the house boat. Views of the lake were breath taking complimented with amazing food served (lunch, high tea, dinner and breakfast) on the boat. The staff members on the boat were very courteous and humble. Rooms were neat and clean. Ambience was traditional Kerala style. Highlight of the day was fishing (I actually managed to catch a fish!!! thanks to the guidance provided at start by the boat staff). We also managed to see turtles, water snake and different types of birds. Would highly recommend that you reserve a day for this of you are visiting Kerala, it's totally worth it.

Very nice experience. The boat was clwan and neat. Slowly it drifts through the backwater. Food was tasty. Houseboat owner Prasanth asked us beforehand what we wanted for lunch and prepared accordingly. He was also very helpful in arranging a pick because of vehicle strike that day. Overall recommend experience in Kerala and recommended service provider.

Forty two of the forty four freshwater rivers originating in the Western Ghats flow eastwards forming an intricate network of waterways. Backwaters are formed when these rivers empty themselves into the Arabian Sea. Kumarakom is perched on the western banks of the Vembanad Lake and has about 900 sq. kms of backwater ripples spread endlessly into the horizon. Kumarakom is a fascinating hamlet where tradition and modernity go hand in hand. A blend of tradition and culture is interwoven in the lives of the natives living in ancient rustic homes with temples and churches. At the same time, you can spot tourists glide through the canoe, motorboat or houseboats and accommodated in state of the art guesthouses, hotels and resorts.
