Welcome aboard Muthoot River
Escapes. Houseboat Holidays designed
to enchant you as you traverse deep
into the heart of the backwaters on
the graceful decks of our
kettuvalloms. These huge yet
graceful boats are the
quintessential rice barges of
yesteryears, which have been
converted into luxurious floating
homes, complete with bedrooms,
modern toilets, well stocked
kitchens and outboard engines. Built
entirely without the use of nails,
these boats are made of planks of
jackwood, which are securely tied
together with sturdy coir ropes.
Tranquil
Backwaters
The backwaters form a unique feature
of the Kerala landscape. Over 1900
kms of meandering rivers and
backwaters have become a way of life
for the people living along its
banks. The religious amity, vivid
cultural festivals, the pulsating
rhythm of the boat song, the
paddling oarsman-cum- salesman with
his wares precariously piled up on
narrow boats, children skipping
along the water's edge on their way
home from school; the backwaters
showcase a vibrant tapestry of
innumerable sights and sounds.
Houseboats Stays and Cruises
Muthoot River Escapes has delved
into the most minute aspects of
hospitality to offer you the
ultimate in comfortable and
pleasurable sailing. Luxurious and
well appointed bedrooms, modern
bathrooms complete with hot and cold
running water. An airy and spacious
living room that converts into an
elegant dining room at mealtimes.
Evenings on the still waters provide
the perfect setting for romance and
rejuvenation. Anchored in the middle
of nowhere, with only a cool silence
to surround you, River Escapes
offers you idyllic evenings of quiet
introspection and romantic
interludes.
Cuisine
on board
Cuisine on the backwaters is unique,
exotic and an absolute explosion of
flavours and fragrances. Karimeen,
an exotic fresh water fish, Shrimp,
found in abundance on the backwaters
and all kinds of crabs, mussels and
shellfish make up an integral part
of backwater cuisine. Kerala is also
famous for its elaborate vegetarian
feast served in elegant splendour on
banana leaves. Known as the ' Sadhya',
here's a meal fit for the Gods!
Toddy the champagne of the
backwaters, is the fresh milky
extract tapped from the coconut
tree. When left to ferment, toddy
becomes an intoxicant. A heady
experience, indeed! Come, cruise the
backwaters with River Escapes and
sample a culture and cuisine as
vibrant and varied as the people on
the backwaters.
