KOLLAM HOUSEBOAT

Kollam is one such city that has so much to offer the visitor as it nestles on the banks of the immense Ashtamudi Lake. Float in sheer bliss as Kerala’s traditional kettuvalloms or houseboats, styled as per the norms of tradition yet equipped with luxury and every modern amenity, offer the opportunity to relax on the serene waters of the Ashtamudi Lake Kollam. Stay, dine and truly experience the timeless beauty of life along the banks of Kerala.  The city was earlier known as Quilon and was an ancient trading port with the old world. Today, it is famous as a tourism center by virtue of the scenic palm-shaped Ashtamudi Lake which also forms the beginning of the backwaters. 

                            The best view of this landslip is from outside, from the Kollam houseboats cruising through the backwaters. The best way to enjoy the full serene beauty of this lake is by taking a houseboat trip. Houseboats are country boats crafted entirely of wood; however, don’t let that fact mislead you as they come fully-loaded with modern facilities like air-conditioned rooms, aesthetically-designed bathrooms and an open lounge area that offers uninterrupted views of the beautiful scenery. A Kollam houseboat cruise will give us an astonishing vividness of the Ashtamudi Lake. It offers more diversity and excellent glimpses of village life on the banks of Ashtamudi Lake.
