Kerala Houseboat Package Details

Experience the wonders of Kerala’s Backwaters

Step aboard your traditional Kerala houseboat and begin an unforgettable journey through the tranquil backwaters. On arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a refreshing drink as your cruise sets off through serene waterways, winding canals, and beautiful open lagoons.

As you glide gently across the water, soak in the breathtaking scenery of swaying coconut palms, lush green and golden paddy fields, and colourful local birdlife. Along the banks, discover the charm of everyday backwater life—watch local fishermen at work, floating vendors going about their day, skilled coir workers, and traditional toddy tappers.

Delicious Kerala Cuisine On Board

Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch cooked right in your houseboat kitchen and served on board. Choose from a delicious Vegetarian or Non-Vegetarian meal, prepared with fresh ingredients and local flavours.

After lunch, continue your peaceful cruise while enjoying afternoon tea and snacks. Feel the gentle breeze, watch the landscape slowly change with the afternoon light, and capture the beauty of a spectacular Kerala backwater sunset.

An Evening in a Traditional Village

Around 5:30 PM, the houseboat will anchor in a peaceful and scenic location. This is your chance to step ashore and enjoy an evening village walk, where you can experience the simple, authentic lifestyle of Kerala’s backwater communities—far from the noise and rush of city life.

Return to your houseboat for a freshly prepared dinner, followed by a relaxing evening surrounded by the calm waters.

Wake up to the soothing sounds of nature and fresh morning air. Enjoy a delicious breakfast on board before setting out on a final morning cruise, taking in one last glimpse of the beautiful backwaters before checking out at 9:00 AM.
