Very nice experience. It was our last moment plan, and this option popped up accidently. Searched on Google, and found the number of the manager who arranged a very nice houseboat for two families. The houseboats were well equipped, rooms nice and clean, well maintained. The washroom were very clean with a big bath tub. The houseboat had lots of nice wall paintings which made the boat look very rich. The outer corridors had dining table for 6 and good quality foam sofa for four. In addition, there were good spaces to sit on the deck. Although we booked our for four hours only (₹1000/hr, minimum 4 hrs) we had lunch on board (₹500/head very+non veg), is a very good houseboat for even full day with night stay. The food was really good authentic Kerala taste. The staff was very friendly and helping. They served tea and snacks in the evening which was the icing on the cake. The entire boat ride was fun through canals, around the island where you will have lots of nature beauty and serene atmosphere. All in all a very good experience. One star is reserved as we didn't do a full day trip, so we don't have night stay experience.

Kumarakom Houseboats is an experience of a relaxing cruise on the Vembanad backwaters combined with great tasting Kerala style food(with karimeen fry) and service by the staff on board. Right from the time of the booking, the owner was courteous and provided the detailed itinerary with pictures of the boat and the menu on board. We were also given the option of selecting additional items on the menu like crab roast (as long as we paid extra). The food on board was not only delicious, the quantity was more than sufficient for a 5 person group. We paid an advance on the day before the cruise as part of the booking process(about half the price of the day trip 11 am to 4 pm) and the remainder on the day of the trip. The cruise took us through a narrow canal with houses on either side for the first hour and then to the vast Vembanad Lake for the remainder of the trip. We also stopped in between where we bought some crab which we were able to give to the staff and they cooked it for lunch. The backwaters are beautiful with a lot of greenery around as well as resorts. I would highly recommend Kumarakom Houseboats for a day trip.

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 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.
