✦ Houseboats can be seen on the backwaters of Kerala and on the Dal Lake in Jammu and Kashmir.
Living on a houseboat can be a gratifying experience for anyone. Here are a few reasons why you should live in a houseboat at least once in your lifetime.
✦ When living on a houseboat, the views around you are amazing. The water that surrounds you, the cliffs and hills that you catch a glimpse of, the skies that change colors, and the fish and the birds, together make a spectacular view.
✦ When on a houseboat, you realize why they say change is the only constant thing. Living on a houseboat means that your surroundings change pretty frequently. You closely experience the little changes in weather, temperature, and your natural surroundings. Life becomes all the more exciting.
✦ It’s fun to watch the night sky from a houseboat. Gazing at the sky on a moonlit night or watching the stars is a wonderful experience.
✦ You are free to travel anywhere, and at any time. You are the captain of your house!
✦ Or you may choose to hire a kayak or a canoe and enjoy a smooth ride in the waters.
✦ The environment is peaceful and relaxing all through the day as you are away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
✦ And if fishing is something you love to do, you are free to engage in it when you want to.
✦ The quiet surroundings and the scenic beauty, together create the perfect setting for a romantic date.
✦ Ocean cruises are a very different experience altogether. There’s much more privacy and calm. The views are splendid.
✦ There is no need for yard work.
✦ There are no parking issues as your vehicles can be kept on the boat itself.
✦ Living on a houseboat also teaches you some important lessons. You live minimally, there may be less space, and you may have to do everything by yourself. There is adventure and there are challenges.
