Enjoy great scenic rides in clean and luxurious houseboats of North Kerala. The waterways of North Kerala, located near Valiyaparamba just inland from the Arabian Sea offers fanciful experiences for its travelers. The houseboats here serve as a great vacationer accommodation. Unlike other popular cruising destinations, there is comparitively less water traffic and the water quality here is far better. The restrictions on the number of Houseboats owes itself to strict government regulations to monitor the quality of water and at the same time promote eco tourism.

Cruise through the backwaters in houseboats that are remodeled forms of the traditional Kettuvallams, formerly used to transport large amounts of grains. You will experience serenity as the captain of the houseboat gently steers through the meandering backwaters. Tune into the nature’s rhythm as you cruise along off-beat routes, with untouched islands and virgin villages set amidst lush greenery and coconut groves.

Unlike other destinations, where Houseboats are anchored together close to the land, in North Malabar, houseboats here are anchored in the middle of the river. The sea being just 400 meters away, this also let’s the traveller get the benefit of enjoying mild night waves over the middle of the river during the halt.
You can also relish the soulful taste of the Malabar Cuisine which has many vegetarian and non vegetarian delights alike. Enjoy a joyful trip that will rest your mind and offer you an untarnished and uncomparable view of North Malabar.
