The houseboats in Kerala are huge, slow-moving, exotic barges used for leisure Holidays. It is about 18 to 21 meters long and about 5 meter wide at the middle. These are floating cottages having bedrooms (Boat with 6 bed rooms are available now) attached with western-style toilets and Living cum Dining area. Most tourists spend the night on a house boat. Food is cooked on board by the accompanying Cook– mostly having a flavor of Kerala. Besides Cook, there will be 2 more staffs. It is brought to a standstill at times of having food and at night.
