[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The beauty of Kerala is its backwaters, which are unique to this land, extending from one end of the state to the other, spread across the stretch of 900 kms. This wonderful stretch is thickly populated with a collection of flora, fauna and marine life, the most scenic stretch amongst the backwaters lies between Alappuzha and Kumarakom.

The unique aspect of Alappuzha is that "rice bowl of Kerala"-Kuttanad, one of the few places in the world where paddy cultivation is done below the sea level. You get to see and enjoy, the lush green beauty of Alappuzha cruising through the bylanes and canals.

The houseboats are renovated cargo boats… kettuvallams… and are provided with all modern conveniences and comforts to make your stay a pleasant experience. To complement the traditional way of rowing using large poles, outboard engines are also provided. The boats are designed to facilitate a most eco-friently functioning.

Hello Jean Paul,
Now that is one interesting vessel!
Never seen a house boat quite like this one, and I wouldn't mind spending some time on one of those...
