This is one of the popular options opted for by a lot of honeymooners where
the base idea is to take a exclusive houseboat cruise and enjoy the privacy in
natural surroundings. Kerala backwaters is where houseboat cruises are popular
and guest can take anywhere from 1 night cruise to a 1 week cruise. Typically
1 night is considered too short and so 2 or 3 nights is preferred by most guests
on a honeymoon. Houseboats
come in several varieties. Premium AC Houseboat is the most luxurious and Deluxe
Houseboats are the most available which are mid-segment boats and Standard boats
are the budget segment and smaller boats. Advantage that Standard Boats carry
is that they are smaller and so they can go deeper in narrow canals and therefore
guests are able to experience the backwater lifestyle from a closer proximity. Goa
also has one 2 bedroom houseboat in River Siolim (North Goa) which is a shared
houseboat but gives a Kerala like experience in Goa. Houseboats
in Kashmir are like permanent residences moored on the Dal lake / Nagin Lake and
where guests cruise around in a much smaller boat called a "Shikara".
Dal Lake is more accessible and has maximum number of boats all stacked next to
each other. For a stay where guests can interact with local lifestyle, vendors
and feel the buzz, Dal lake is preferred. For more private and peaceful stay,
where guest don't prefer to be disturbed at all, Nagin Lake is preferred. Kashmir
for long has been the favorite destination for honeymooners. Now off course Houseboat
Cruise in Kerala is a major hit with Indian as well as overseas guests on a honeymoon. Houseboat
