The backwaters are unique to Kerala and are believed to have been formed by silting during the great flood of 1866 AD. Linking land masses along their routes, the backwaters lend an entirely different personality to Kerala.
They are more than just an accessory; the fisherman, the housewife and the wizened grandmother, all navigate the waters in their tiny boats, at one with the river and with nature at large. Harmony is the ripples made by their oars against the water, peace is the glide of the boat along its journey, life is the whisper of the river as it flows onward.
The houseboats, with interiors done up in coir and jute with colour schemes in soothing earth tones and furniture inspired by traditional lines, add to the timeless ambience that is part of the aesthetic appeal on offer here. No trip to Kerala is complete without a night or two on the backwaters and Muthoot River Escapes are one of our preferred suppliers with consistently high standards shown in their boats and the service disaplayed by their crews.
