Experience Kerala’s Timeless Charm from Sunrise to Sunset
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to spend an entire day aboard one of Kerala’s best houseboats, let us paint the picture. At KERA Houseboats, every moment is designed to reconnect you with nature, culture, and calm.
Morning: Wake Up on Water
Your day begins with the gentle sound of lapping water and the rustling of palm leaves. Step out onto the deck to see mist drifting over emerald canals, dotted with herons and fishing boats. After a warm cup of chai, a freshly prepared Kerala breakfast awaits—think soft appams, coconut chutney, and ripe local fruits.
Midday: Cruise Through Culture
As the boat glides through narrow canals and open lagoons, you’ll witness everyday village life unfold along the banks. Women washing clothes, farmers tending to rice paddies, and children waving from the shore create a moving storybook of rural Kerala. Midday also brings a delicious, home-cooked lunch on board featuring fish fry, avial, and matta rice—all made by our onboard chef using local ingredients.
Afternoon: Explore and Engage
Depending on your itinerary, you may pause for a cultural walk through a backwater village, visit a coir workshop, or enjoy a ride in a smaller country canoe for a closer look at inner waterways. These stops offer a respectful glimpse into the traditions that define Kerala.
Evening: Sunset and Serenity
Golden hour on the backwaters is magical. As the sun dips low, casting warm light on the water, enjoy fresh banana fritters and a cup of cardamom tea. The boat anchors in a quiet inlet where the only sounds are chirping crickets and distant temple bells.
Dinner is candlelit, with soft music and starry skies above—a perfect end to a perfect day.
At KERA Houseboats, this is not just a day. It’s a memory in the making, a moment out of time. Whether you’re traveling with family, as a couple, or seeking solitude, there’s no better way to experience the backwaters than with one of Kerala's best houseboats.
