One of the unforgettable experiences while on a holiday to Kerala would undoubtedly be the houseboat cruise along the scenic backwater stretches of Alleppey and Kumarakom. Kerala houseboats are one of the most popular attractions in the tour circuit of Kerala and a must visit. Majority of travelers to God’s Own Country- Kerala would make it a point to visit the backwaters and lazily cruise along the scenic stretches.
More than 1000 houseboats ply the backwaters, mainly in Alappuzha (Alleppey) and Kumarakom region of the Vembanad Lake.
Kerala houseboats in the backwaters are locally known as ‘Kettuvalloms’. Houseboats that we see now were traditionally used as cargo carriers transformed to a unique tourism product. It boasts of having facilities just as rooms in any hotels, with sleeping areas, modern toilets , dining area and kitchen. The houseboat comes with one room (to accommodate a couple) to boats with ten bedrooms at present.

Thank you CAB AND CRUISE BUDDY for a wonderful end to our adventure in India. The backwaters were lovely – we enjoyed the diversity of birds and the opportunity to relax. The sunset was lovely and the food wonderful. We particularly enjoyed the fried fish for lunch and lobsters purchased from a fisherman on the backwaters. The crew of the boat was great – they pointed out many birds and took us on night walk along the shore. Although they weren’t skilled in bird id, they were eager to point out birds to us. It was very sweet.

Kerala is truly an amazing place and my time on the backwaters was the highlight of the many months I spent travelling all over India. Team CCB was a fantastic host and arranged all the details of my trip perfectly. They are truly local with a deep knowledge of Kerala and a passion for sharing it with others. I was travelling alone and their professionalism and attention to detail made me feel comfortable.
