Riceboat

Riceboats were traditionally used to transport rice and other produce from the backwaters to markets. These have now been converted to boats for tourists and have modern en-suite facilities. This cruise on the Backwaters of the Vembanad Lake lets you have a look at the vast expanse of waterways and the village life.There are various options available for cruising and the quality of boats on offer. For people wishing to have a proper cruise of the backwaters then the canals of Kuttanad would be the best option. Riceboats are of various types, those with air-con and without, and the number of bedrooms vary from 1 to 10! Depending of the luxuries on offer onboard and number of bedrooms the prices vary. We would suggest a cruise that is away from the main boarding point in Alleppey ( Finishing Piont ) as it`s very busy. It`s best to take a boat that anchors away from this place at night
