Houseboats
Have you ever gone houseboat cruising on the backwaters of Kerala? If you haven’t,
make sure you do. This one’s really an absolutely wonderful, unforgettable
experience!
The houseboats of today - huge, slow moving, exotic barge used for leisure trips
- are the reworked kettuvalloms of olden times. The original kettuvalloms were
used to carry tonnes of rice and spices - a standard kettuvallom can hold up
to 30 tonnes - from Kuttanad to the Kochi port.

Houseboats
SRINAGAR "DAL LAKE" and "NAGIN LAKE" Floating on a postcard
lake in one of Kashmir's famous houseboats is the way to seehow this place earned
the name, "The Venice of the East". Water - powered peddlers sell
everything from saffron to paper mache deer to the houseboat door. Ride a Shikara
- a Kashmiri gondola - to the watery vegetable markets and see the mountains
mirrored in the lakes. The houseboats are grand with hand - carved furniture
and rich Kashmiri carpets.
