Kerala Backwaters
Staying on the Kerala Backwaters
Stay on the Kerala Backwaters for as long as you desire. You can stay on a houseboat for a night as part of a tour, add a few nights on as an extension to your trip or make it the centre piece of your wonderful Kerala adventure.
The main advantage of staying more than one night is that you get to explore the more remote backwaters for a richer view of rural Indian life. Just imagine an area nourished by 44 rivers, a vast network of lakes and 1500 kms of canals all lined by palm trees and picturesque small villages - that's a lot of exploring.
