Imagine a boat that is intricately designed with beautiful architecture, in the middle of water and has all the amenities of a modern luxury hotel. Now imagine you are holidaying in one of those! Fascinating, right? India has two of the prime destinations that can offer you an unforgettable house boating experience. Here is a quick rundown to those two destinations.
Kerala
Tranquil backwaters, pristine beaches, rich culture, exotic cuisine and countless other things make Kerala a must visit. When it comes to house boating, this place is a heaven. People of Kerala are very passionate about their boats, they call it kettuvallams. A kettuvallam is made purely of wood and not even a nail is used while making it, the boats are a piece of traditional art. These kettuvallams are then further decorated with all the luxurious amenities and various items like bamboo mats, wood of coconut trees and coir for beds – everything inspired from nature. Millions of people grab hold of tickets on flights arriving in Kerala to stay in one of these floating beauties. Savouring your favourite tipple lounging aboard these house boats, some of which are two-storey high, and feasting your eyes on the jaw dropping sights and rich flora around while cruising leisurely through the meandering backwaters is an amazing experience possible only in Kerala.
Kashmir
The unparalleled natural beauty of this place alone makes it a must visit for those who wish to explore the very best of Mother Nature’s resplendence. Houseboats are one of the prime attractions here and those who wish to take a break from the conventional ‘staying in a hotel’ experience, houseboats in Kashmir are perfect. The best part is that whether you are budget holiday maker or an extravagant high rolling traveller, there is a boat for everyone. Take a pick from more than a thousand of those beauties that are designed to give you an escape from the usual world, the experience is simply indelible. Watch some of the most heavenly views of nature, relish the scrumptious cuisine or simply relax in the luxurious comfort of your houseboat, there is nothing more relaxing.
