We, a group of 12, took the houseboat instead of regular boat as it provided a greater comfort level and amenities. It was a three bedroom houseboat, which allowed us to take an afternoon nap after the lunch, which was cooked and served in the houseboat.
Apart from the bedrooms and their attached bathrooms, the houseboat typically has a kitchen, refrigerator/freezer. The open area on the houseboat has a large seating arrangement with sofa and traditional Indian seating. You can also find a surround sound system installed there. A TV for watching videos may also be present. Electricity is available from an 'invertor system' with the boat motor charging the batteries when it is running. Some of the house boat had a set of solar panels installed which can charge the batteries during the day.
The backwaters area is very beautiful. The lake is huge and there are rice/paddy fields visible along the stretch.
Overall we had a great time in the houseboat and backwaters. In my next post, I will put some more pictures of the backwaters and surrounding area.
