As houseboats are only allowed on the major backwaters. Imagine Kayaking up close with villages, core village life of Kerala backwaters also learning about local history and listening to local Indigenous stories. Kerala kayaking gives you a ringside view of life along the backwaters on kayaks.

See the peaceful villages, smiling children and farmers hard at work. An excellent opportunity to see day today life of villagers, local people engaged in paddy cultivation, Temples, fishing, duck rearing, and shell and mud collection for the farms.
