Lake Palce Rajadhani (Houseboat)
Aboard the floating hotel. Lake Palace
"Rajadhani" a resort in itself with all sort of
luxury is the ideal choice.No holiday experience in Kerala can be complete without an exotic cruise in one of those lavishly furnished floating barges called House
Boats (Kettuvallam) in the golden waters of the Vembanadu Lake.
 
The charming cocoon - shaped silhouette has been retained
and the interior converted into an elegant suite, complete with bedroom, living room, dining hall,
lounge bar and kitchen. It's just not the pleasures of gentle cruise on the golden waters that will delight you but a first - hand impression of the charming rural lifestyle slipping by in slow motion that will enrich you.
Be a witness to the spectacle of the backwaters always maintaining a higher level than that of the palm fringed paddy fields on either side.
