Houseboats
Situated in Kerala’s Kottayam district, Kumarakom is renowned for its network of canals, lagoons, and lakes that merge with the Arabian Sea, known as the backwaters. Opting for a houseboat ride in Kumarakom offers visitors the perfect opportunity to discover Kerala’s natural splendour at their leisure. The best time to book a stay on a Kumarakom houseboat is between November and February. The weather is perfect for arranging a houseboat stay because the temperature ranges between a comfortable 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. Monsoon is not the best season to book a houseboat because of the heavy rainfall that occurs in the region.
In Kumarakom, there are a variety of houseboat options, from basic and affordable to luxurious. They all come completely furnished with modern amenities. Most houseboats include a crew that will take care of all your requirements while you are on board, usually consisting of a captain, cook and assistant. Visitors can relax and enjoy watching the lush vegetation, coconut groves, paddy fields, and charming villages along the backwaters while travelling by houseboat. Various types of flora and fauna can be spotted too.
The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, the Vembanad Lake, and the Pathiramanal Island are a few popular sights that you can see while on a houseboat excursion in Kumarakom. If you plan accordingly, you’ll be able to spend some time in these places and enjoy the many sights here. The onboard chef will also prepare a variety of traditional meals for you, including vegetarian and seafood options.
