Houseboat holidays have become popular in the backwaters of Kerala and provide an extremely soothing experience. Soma Houseboats , Kovalam, offers the opportunity of a life time to view the scenic beauty of Kerala by traversing the backwaters. Soma Houseboats are mini-mobile cottages. Most of them have two cabins, including a sit out, sundeck, bedroom and private bath. Interior is fully covered by wooden panels.

There are halts in between to stretch your legs on the shore, take in a quick bottle of fresh sweet toddy from a local pub, or just climb up a coconut tree.
