Sunset from a Houseboat
A tour in the house boat is an unforgettable experience. The slow movement of the house boats, the gentle touch of the sweet breeze from the cool backwaters all but mesmerizes you to happiness. The greenery, scenes of the villages, the boat jetties and passengers, the farmers and paddy fields, the coconut palms on either sides of the banks, all together make your trip most beautiful. On the whole you feel relaxed, calm and gentle as the backwaters.
This boat has multiple bedrooms on two levels and is one of the larger houseboats among the 600 or so on Vembanad Lake around Kumarakom, Kerala

A Faint Sunset over Vembanad Lake
Kottayam is a vast network of rivers and canals which empty into the great expanse of water called the Vembanad Lake inKerala. The lake, an enchanting picnic spot and a fast developing backwater tourism destination, provides boating, fishing and sightseeing experiences that are truly exhilarating. The serene lake comes alive during Onam with a spectacular water regatta – the snake boat races. It is indeed amazing to watch oarsmen, at least a hundred in one boat, slice their way through the waters to the fast rhythm of their own full-throated singing.
