HOUSE BOATS, KERALA
(Star Rating - Deluxe)
Houseboats are traditionally
called 'Kettuvallam'. The modern houseboat has a long history dating
back hundred of years. These boats were used by merchants to transport
rice and coir from town to town. During those days roads were a few.
With the emergence of road transportation, these boats were forgotten.
Today, thanks to tourism, they have been modified into luxurious
single and double bedroom houseboats with attached bathrooms, kitchen,
verandah and much more.

Western Hills : Bracing weather, verdant surroundings
... |
|
|
Welcome to the hill stations of western India.
Nestling among the mountain ranges that sweep across the states of Gujarat,
Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, these hill resorts have much to offer.
Saputara Hills ( Gujarat ) : The only hill resort of Gujarat, sitauted at
an altitude of 873 metres on the Sahyadhri range. Its a picturesque hill
resort overlooking an emerald green plateau. Places of interest - Nageshwar
temple museum, the forest nursery, lake with boating facility, and a popular
base for excursions to the Mahal Baridipara Forest Wildlife sanctuary
(60km) & the Gira waterfalls (52km).
Pachmarhi Hills ( Madhya Pradesh ) : is a hill station in the low-lying
Satpura hills of Madhya Pradesh. This beautiful area was first discovered by
Captain Forsyth, a Bengal Lancer, in 1857. On his advice it was developed into
sanatorium and hill resort. The architectural and city plan still reflect its
antecedents. The area is off the usual tourist beat and hence not
over-developed. Instead, it is simply a lovely, relaxing area to 'get away from
it all.
