  2. Different types of houseboats in Kerala: There are many different types of houseboats available in Kerala, ranging from basic to luxurious. The basic ones usually have one or two bedrooms, a small kitchen, and a dining area. The luxurious ones, on the other hand, come with air-conditioned bedrooms, a living room, a dining area, and a deck to enjoy the views. The houseboats are entirely of natural materials like bamboo, coir, and wood, which gives them a rustic charm. A typical houseboat ride lasts for about 22 hours, and it usually starts from Alleppey or Kumarakom. As you cruise along the backwaters, you will see lush green paddy fields, coconut groves, and small villages on the banks. You can also spot a variety of bird species, including kingfishers, egrets, and ducks.

  3. What distinguishes Kerala Backwaters from other places? One of the best ways to explore the backwaters is by taking a houseboat ride. Houseboats are traditionally known as “kettuvallams,” which were used to transport goods in ancient times. Today, they are a popular way to experience the serene beauty of the backwaters and have become an iconic symbol of Kerala tourism. The backwaters of Kerala are a labyrinthine system made up of more than 900 km of waterways that are connected by canals, rivers, lakes, and inlets. There are several towns and cities scattered throughout this region that are used as the beginning and end sites of backwater tours. The backwaters have a unique ecology as a result of the interaction between freshwater from the rivers and seawater from the Arabian Sea.

  4. Conclusion In conclusion, exploring the backwaters of Kerala is a must-do activity for anyone visiting the state. Whether you choose to take a houseboat ride or explore the smaller canals on a canoe, the backwaters offer a unique and serene experience. With the traditional cuisine, cultural experiences, and eco-tourism initiatives, Kerala’s backwaters have something to offer for everyone.
