House boats in Kerala are olden day rice boats, which were used to carry the harvest from one place to another. These boats were used by the agrarian community, as shelter during summer seasons and heavy rains. Over a period of time, the agriculture in Kerala died down and these boats started lying idle. Then sprouted the idea from the Travel fraternity, to convert these boats into luxurious tour boats for cruise as well as Stay. Now House boats in Kerala-India are renowed world wide, for the luxurious cruise experience they offer in the serene backwaters, the ultimate comfort for stay and savouring the ethnic delicacies of Kerala- The God's own Country.
