KERALA BACKWATER RIVER CRUISE HOLIDAYS

2025 & 2026 RIVER CRUISES

The backwaters of Kerala form a unique aquatic landscape, comprising an extensive network of lakes, lagoons, canals, and rivers bordered by towering palms and lush greenery. These waters are navigated by kettuvallams, or houseboats, which were originally used as barges for transporting grain. Today, they provide the ideal way to explore the backwaters, allowing you to leisurely drift through the intricate waterways and experience life on the water. The houseboats anchor overnight, letting you fall asleep to the soothing sound of lapping waves.
