Journeying on the Best Luxury Houseboat in Kerala<\/p>\n
In the genre of immersive tourism a trip to Kerala’s backwaters scores higher than any other experience. This form of slow travel implies the art of not rushing around when traveling, in an attempt to tick off as many tourist attractions as possible in a short time. Secondly, allowing the world to move just a little slower so that we actually notice it.<\/p>\n
Kerala, in South India, better known as God\u2019s Own Country is dotted with a host of beautiful tourist spots \u2014 rolling, misty mountains, verdant forests, pristine beaches, and backwaters and is endowed with lush greenery.<\/p>\n
Having heard so much about the famous `backwaters\u2019 in Kumarakom, this trip was planned much in anticipation. I wasn\u2019t sure whether it was a hype or not, but the stage was being set for something amazing.<\/p>\n
Indulging in a slow travel experience, relaxation, and leisure were the key ingredients of this trip. To immerse fully in the experience at our own unhurried pace, truly absorbing the essence of the place!<\/h2>\n
The train is the best way to travel on this route till Kottayam in Kerala. Moreover, the convenience of sleeping your way through this night-long journey makes it ideal. We reached Kottayam at 11.30 am which is the nearest station, 10 km away from Kumarakom.<\/p>\n
A half-hour cab ride later, bearing the sultry weather, we reached our resort in Kumarakom, nestled on the periphery of the famous Vembanad lake. The lake-facing abode had picturesque views \u2014 a massive expanse of water peppered with tiny boats, the shores fringed with swaying palm trees.<\/p>\n
