Kerala Backwaters and a houseboat experience in Kerala

If you are seeking out to spend some quality time enjoying some quiet time and calmness on a trip in Kerala, the backwaters here are a true delight. It consists of five lakes, around 40 rivers, and many other lagoons, canals as well and estuaries. The best way to experience it is through a houseboat in Kerala.
The backwaters of Kerala are a beauty and a blessing that make this amazing tourist destination different from others. Backwaters in Kerala are a mystery that many tourists would love to unfold and resolve. The houseboat experience in Kerala is also out of this world.

Among the most visited backwater destinations in Kerala, Alleppey and Kumarakom are the two main places. We wanted this trip to be only for the Backwaters and didn’t want to run around. So, we planned to see Alleppey and Kumarakom to experience their real beauty.

DAY 2 HOUSEBOAT AT KERALA EXPERIENCE-

There were many houseboats lined up just behind Ramada, and we could choose according to our needs and requirements. They have different trips with different timings, like for 5 hours, 7 hours, or 12 hours, in which you can stay in a houseboat during the night too. We took a 5-hour trip in which they provided a welcome drink, Lunch, and evening snacks.

I don’t think this kind of experience is there at any other tourist place.  The houseboat ride is completely mesmerizing. These houseboats have all the essential amenities inside, like a hotel. They are like a floating hotel as it has well-furnished bedrooms, a kitchen, toilets, balconies, etc. If you are with your family, you will cherish the most amazing time with family members under nature’s lap. You must visit Kerala and the backwaters once in your life, as this kind of experience you will not find anywhere else.

I will be sharing with you all our experience of another beautiful place -Kumarakom in the next post.
