Kerala Houseboat is a delightful journey from being a routine vessel to becoming a tourist wonder. Here is that story in a nutshell. The history of Kerala houseboats goes a long back. Long before the Highways came into existence and railways lines became a reality, water bodies had been the transporting veins of Kerala.
Shikara boats in Alleppey are smaller than houseboats in size with a seating capacity of four to fifteen and sometimes up to twenty people. They are traditional boats converted into the present form by arranging seating facilities and are usually decorated using materials made of wood and bamboo giving it an old world rustic charm.
Motorboats are quite different from Houseboats and Shikkara boats.Motorboats are mainly used for Transportation in Kerala Backwaters. It’s more economical to enjoy a backwater cruise in Alleppey and Kumarakom than Houseboats. For small groups, motorboats will be more preferable and cheaper than any other ones. The speed of the motorboats can be can be up to 50km/hr which is more than the Houseboat. A motorboat is comparatively smaller than the Houseboats but bigger than the Shikkara boats.
Canoe Kerala allows travellers to explore the backwaters in every way possible. With canoe rides, you can go to narrow canals and get a closer experience of the backwater villages. The houseboat cruises offer a king-size experience, providing you with all the luxury services as you absorb the beauty around you. The motorboat rides help you get a quick glimpse of the backwaters while the sunrise and sunset cruises offer magnificent views of the backwaters.
