Ashtamudi Houseboat Co.
Kerala's quietest backwater, done right.
The people behind the boats
Ashtamudi Houseboat Co. was founded by two marine engineers who wanted to bring Alappuzha-standard hospitality to Kollam's far quieter — and far less commercialised — backwaters. Routes here run longer and emptier, through palm-fringed channels most tourists never see.

Exactly as pictured
Boarding was smooth and the boat matched the photos exactly, which honestly surprised us after reading about other operators. Food was fresh and the crew checked in without being intrusive. Would recommend for the route alone.
