One of a kind experience - We thoroughly enjoyed 21 hours on the luxurious houseboat. It was nice having AC in the common room and bedrooms. The upper deck allowed for even better views. The staff, food, and experience was top notch. If you need a good getaway from all the hustle and bustle, this is the experience for you. I'm very glad we booked this cruise.

Wow! Boathouse Mr. Sree - Excellent boat house with 5 star ambience and delicious food served with good hygiene. All thanks to the Owner Mr. Sree. He made our trip a memorable one and cherish it forever. Staff is very professional and kind. The boat house was far more than what we expected and it surprised us with luxury and privacy the best part. I will always recommend Mr. Sree for any such occasions. Completely satisfied and really missing it now. Also Mr. Sree arranged an excellent pre-stay before boat house through Mr. Salam which had an excellent backwaters views and pretty decent price. Overall a very satisfying and excellent boathouse trip.

Cosy, Serene and comfortable - Clean and neat Housebat. Well kept. Timing is 12:30 to 9:00 am sharp. Lunch, Dinner and Breakfast was arranged on the Boat. Mr.Sreekumar was kind enough to ask us what type of food we liked. We had asked for authentic Kerala Veg Sadya. It was arranged at a very short notice. Suggest you can try Kerala Cusine while on the boat

Houseboat Trip - I have always heard about houseboat in Kashmir or Kerala, but never had the chance to experience it. As luck would have it, during my India visit this time we planned to go to Kerala and guess what....houseboat trip!!! We did the booking with Lumiere Tours and they didn't disappoint us. We had requested for a Private luxury houseboat and had a fantastic experience. Backwaters of Kerala is a great natural creation, it's nothing but a interconnected network of lagoons, lakes and canals. The lunch and dinner in the boat was just fabulous. In between our journey we stopped in a village and bought crabs n prawns which was also added in the dinner menu by our chef. Overall another unique experience for us.
