The traditional houseboats, called "kettuvallams" have wood harvested from local jackfruit tree plantations, hand-stitched by local craftsmen with coconut fiber rope.
The houseboat was amazing and and it was a pleasant and wonderful journey.
We had the trip of our life with Xandari. The captain Sony, Chief cook Sanjith and kannan make us feel like kings. We bought shrimps on the way, enjoyed a shirodhara massage and had a very relaxing peaceful trip.
We will come back.

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and full-day security, along with free WiFi. When staying at the boat, guests can use private entrance. We loved that the staff gave us the option of having a bigger room for the same price. It was nice and clean. We had read other complaints about houseboats being dirty, but this houseboat is in very good condition. The bed was comfortable (which we have found is an anomaly for most beds in India), and the room was spacious. The bathroom was also clean, and we had read other reviews about bathrooms having a stench and being unclean. We also experienced amazing food on this houseboat; we purchased some fresh prawns, which the chefs cooked for us and it was scrumptious. During some of our downtime while we were cruising on the water, we went to the captain’s area and socialized with the captain and the crew. We also asked if we could get some cooking tips from the chef, which he allowed us to do, and we spent time watching him cook in the kitchen. The entire crew on the ship was cordial, and we enjoyed the extra activity of taking smaller boats down the canals. We highly recommend taking a houseboat with Southern Panorama Houseboat Cruises! 😁

I have stayed on a house boat before so nothing to compare to but we loved it! It’s you, the captain, the driver and the cook. The silence, meditation, scenery is beautiful. Just relax and enjoy. Food was delicious! Two adults and two kids of 8 and 11 having a blast.
The boat trip was such a amazing experience. The staff are so helpful and the food they served was so delicious.The lakes and canals were so peaceful and beautiful. I really recommend Tharas house boat if you have a plan to explore backwaters
The houseboat was impeccable, the food and the service on board could not be faulted. Stopped on the way to get some beers etc and the team included what we bought in our experience without question. Very relaxing with great food. The communication form the local office (Honey) was great, made things very easy for our driver.
Very close to the airport. Shuttle provided on time. Breakfast was really good. They also helped arrange a taxi to the house boat. The driver Arjun was excellent. Great driving, really safe and made sure we reached on time. Highly recommended.
Not too much detail here, as arrived late afternoon and departed for a houseboat stay the next morning. We saw on here that people felt that the short canoe ride required to get to the property was a negative, but it added fun to the trip for us. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast delivered to our veranda outside room was ample. Room wasn't huge, but worked for the one night we needed it for. Lovely spot on the river.
This was my first house boat stay. N worth it for a lasting memory About the room we chose the deluxe option.
We had great time, the houseboat was super clean and comfortable upper deck main highlight of the house boat, staff Vijay, babu,kochu super food was very great and so many new things to taste great job team of whynot
