Chapter 03: The Floating World
Drift along the peaceful, palm-fringed backwaters of Alleppey inside a private luxury Kettuvallam houseboat. Sleep to the gentle sound of water, savor fresh pearl-spot fish prepared by your personal chef, and explore narrow canals lined with coconut trees.
Kerala's backwaters are a 900km network of interconnected canals, rivers and lakes running parallel to the Arabian Sea. The iconic Kettuvallam houseboats are made entirely of jackfruit wood and palm leaves — and were once used to carry rice and spices along the trade routes.
