Sustainable Houseboats by Xandari Riverscapes. Backwater Xperience
#MyXandari #XperienceXandari The local community uses the river for their livelihood.
Our “floating resort” is comprised of 9 houseboats based on the iconic kettuvalam rice boats of Kerala. The boats are built with age-old methods using jackfruit wood tied with coconut coir and no metal joinery in order to preserve the traditional boatbuilding culture. In the early houseboat industry, the waste from the boats was disposed of directly into the water. In order to benefit the locals, the river ecosystem, and set a good example for other houseboats, we have created an inner bladder in the hull to hold the waste, which was then treated properly at the Riverscapes home. In the spirit of collaboration, the use of the sewage treatment plant is offered to other houseboat companies. The employees are 100% from the local community, and previously either worked as fishermen or other water based livelihoods. The cuisine served at Riverscapes are high quality examples of local Kerala cuisine.
The Venice of the East? We’d rather Venice be called the Alleppey of Europe.

The backwaters give Kerala its identity. Xandari has spent 20 years making sure our presence here doesn't cost the water anything.
Sustainable luxury, done quietly, long before it became a buzzword.

The backwaters are never only about the view.
Life continues along the banks. Canoes cross the water, palms lean over narrow canals, and everyday moments quietly become part of the journey.
As you move further along, there is always something new to notice.

Kuttanad cooks with what the paddy raises, and the ducks come first.
Duck curry with coconut and black pepper.
Eat slowly. The boat is not going anywhere in a hurry.

Manoj has been on these waters since before the sun came up. Since before you were awake. Since before most people even thought about their morning.
Forty years of casting in the same stretch of backwater, the same quiet that only exists at that hour.
No audience. No itinerary.
Just the net, the water, and a kind of knowing that can’t be learned anywhere but here.
He is part of the Xandari community, one of the many people whose lives, stories and everyday rhythms are woven into these waters.
We spent a morning with him. Didn’t say much. Didn’t need to.
Some people carry a place in them. He’s one of them.
