Sustainable luxury is redefining travel across Kerala’s backwaters, especially in Kollam, home to the iconic Ashtamudi Lake, a Ramsar site recognized for its ecological importance. Here, premium houseboat tourism is not just about indulgence but about balance, blending elegant hospitality with environmental responsibility. At JK Royal Cruise, we believe luxury should coexist with nature, not compete with it.
The Importance of Preserving Ashtamudi Lake
Ashtamudi Lake is one of Kerala’s most scenic and ecologically vital backwaters. Its serene waters, fringed with coconut palms and dotted with islands, are home to rich biodiversity.
However, with tourism on the rise, maintaining the delicate ecological balance has become more important than ever. Protecting this Ramsar site ensures that both wildlife and local communities continue to thrive. Sustainable houseboat tourism plays a crucial role in this mission by adopting practices that respect and restore the environment.
