Kerala With 1 Year Old

A Kerala Houseboat

We visited Kerala with my 1 year old. One of the things we did was to take a trip on the Backwaters with a houseboat. The staff at both the hotel and the house boat made us comfortable and feel at home. They also cooked my baby meals on request, (though I had to carry all the stuff, including a small cooker).

I thought the houseboat trip would be difficult and boring with a baby, but it wasn't. We had to watch her all the time, so she wouldn't have a chance to fall off, but she couldn't walk or climb yet, so it wasn't so difficult. But for a wilder baby, I would definitely recommend a life jacket.

It was a great trip!

Love Kerala
by: Paula

Hi Vidya,

I love Kerala too! I was there without kids, though, so it is good to know that it worked well with a baby.

Which beaches did you visit? Kovalam beach? Varkala beach?

It would be great with some specific tips for families wanting to travel to Kerala.

I agree that a boat trip on the Kerala backwaters is a must for a tourist, but I would probably recommend a day trip only if traveling with a baby, due to the stubborn mosquitos that may come visit at night.

Anyway, Kerala is a great place to go!

Here is a video commercial from the Backwater, showing pretty well what it is like. It is beautiful place!

Have a great trip,

Paula

Flying from Europe to Kerala
by: Anonymous

We were recently in Kerala with our two kids. Flew from UK to Kerala with Qatar Airways, which was great!

Comment By EasyBabyLife Thank you for the airline tip! I know Qatar Airline has been voted "Best Airline in the World" in 2011, but why did you enjoy flying with them? Were they particularly good with children for some reason?

Keralay Joy - The Kumarakom House Boats
by: Bhuvana

Kumarakom is ideal for a vacation.

The Kerala state is blessed with beautiful beaches and back waters, which are the most important tourist attraction of Kerala - Kumarakom - Alleppey.

Kerala's centuries old, palm fringed backwaters Kerala are stretch over 1900 kms. This Kerala backwater is the prominent feature of a holiday in Kerala - Kumarakom - Alleppey. It is an incredible experience to sail down these soothing waters in a house boat and comprehend the unusual aspects of Kerala life Apart from excellent outlook; these houseboats Kerala are extremely eco-friendly, as it is made of of bamboo poles, coconut fiber, ropes, bamboo mats, carpets est.

I enjoyed this boat house with my whole family and this includes 3 babies. My baby is one year old and my sister's baby is 2 year old and the other 3. All are freed in the boat containing vast area to play and we elders are so relaxed.

The food comes to our dinning on time and sleeping comfort are excellent. A guy will take care of babies not falling in to the water and its rare too as the security is excellent.

Family get-together and good enjoyment for babies and I would say it is Kumarakom boat house.
