Situated
in the South Western tip of India bordered by the Arabian sea
on the Western front and the mighty western ghats on the Eastern
side, Kerala with its innumerable wild life sanctuaries, pristine
valleys and mountains, scenic backwaters, beautiful hill stations
and with miles and miles of fine sandy beaches, is undoubtedly
one of the greenest places that a tourist would ever set foot
on. No wonder the National Geographic Traveler has recommended
Kerala, as one of the 50 must see tourist destinations in the
world and Kerala is affectionately known as Gods own country.

Houseboats
or kettuvalloms as they are called are huge slow moving exotic
barges measuring over 80 to 100 feet and designed for sheer leisure
trips. In the olden days they were used to ferry rice, spices
and other hill produce to various destinations and these exotic
barges of yore have now been converted in to kettuvalloms with
all the creature comforts of a modern day hotel. Cruising along
the backwaters of Kerala in a kettuvallom might as well be the
most memorable experience of a lifetime.
