Kerala Backwater Tourism The uniqueness of the Geography of Kerala lies in its intricate network of lakes, lagoons, rivers, and canals spread over 1500 kms. Kerala’s land and water share an extraordinary kinship with each other. The economy of the state and the life of its people is closely bound with water. An unhurried backwater cruise in traditional houseboats, country boats and staying in traditional houses (home stay) is the best way to discover the real Kerala and enjoy its exceptional scenic beauty. The backwaters of Kerala -twisty inland lakes networked by canals- extend to over 1900km. Vembanad lake is the largest of the lakes, covering an area of 200 sq km, and bordered by Alappuzha (Alleppey), Kottayam, and Ernakulam (Cochin/Kochi) districts. Just 12 km from Kottayam is Kumarakom, an exclusive backwater destination sited on the banks of the Vembanad Lake, considered the gateway to the backwaters of Kuttanad. Homestay Kumarakom The concept of homestay is considered to be the best alternative to hotel and resort accommodation in the hospitality industry. Homestays of Kerala is the best option to explore this beautiful land popularly called God's own country around the world. help you experience this land, people, culture and cuisine in its pristine elements unlike hotel accommodation. Kumarakom Houseboats The state of Kerala is blessed with beautiful beaches and backwaters, which are located in and around the most important tourist attractions of Kerala - Kumarakom and Alleppey. Kerala's centuries old, palm fringed backwaters stretch over 1900 kms. These Kerala backwaters are the prominent feature of a holiday in Kerala. It is an incredible experience to sail down these soothing waters in a traditional Kerala houseboat and comprehend the unusual aspects of Kerala life. (boat house), also known as Kerala Kettuvalloms helps the tourists in discovering the enchanting Kerala backwaters and lively villages of Kerala on a houseboat cruise. Apart from excellent outlook, these houseboats are extremely eco-friendly, as it is made of bamboo poles, coconut fiber, ropes, bamboo mats, carpets etc. The Kumarakom houseboats of today are used for leisure trips, but in old days, these boathouses were used for commercial purposes. The original Kumarakom Kettuvalloms were used to carry rice, coconut and spices from backwater villages of Kuttanad and Kumarakom to the Kochi port. But due to the large influx of modern day transport facilities, these houseboats revived themselves as a luxurious tourist entity. Houseboats of Kerala are giant country crafts, measuring up to 80 feet in length. A typical Kumarakom houseboat has all the comforts of a good hotel, including furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a balcony for angling. Parts of the curved roof of wood or plaited palm open out to provide shade and allow uninterrupted views. Thus, these extravagant houseboats take you along a vast network of lagoons, lakes, rivers and canals and provide you excellent facilities of inland navigation. We offer various houseboat cruise packages to Kumarakom, Alleppey and Kollam. Kerala Eco-tourism: Perhaps the most over-used and mis-used word in the travel industry. But what does it mean? The Ecotourism Society defines it as "responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people". A walk through the rainforest is not eco-tourism unless that particular walk somehow benefits that environment and the people who live there. A rafting trip is only eco-tourism if it raises awareness and funds to help protect the watershed. A loose interpretation of this definition allows many companies to promote themselves as something that they are not. If true eco-tourism is important to you, ask plenty of questions to determine if your trip will help "conserve and improve" the places you visit. Kerala Sustainable Tourism: Any form of tourism that does not reduce the availability of resources and does not inhibit future travelers from enjoying the same experience. If the presence of large numbers of tourists disturbs an animal's mating patterns so that there are fewer of that species in the future then that visit was not sustainable. Kerala Responsible Tourism: Tourism which operates in such a way as to minimize negative impacts on the environment. A wilderness camping trip using "Leave No Trace" ethics would be considered responsible tourism while dune buggy tours would not.
