Houseboat & Its Creation

A mesmerizing trip of the backwater’s beauty can be effectively made in the houseboats - traditionally called Kettuvallams that makes the dream journey possible. Kettuvallam means a boat made by tying together pieces of wood. Unbelievable as it may sound, not a single nail is used in its making. Jack wood planks are joined together with coir rope and then coated with black resin made from boiled cashew nut shells. A Kettuvallam (Kerala Houseboats) usually has one or two bath attached rooms, an open lounge, deck, kitchen and a full crew with cook to welcome its packages.
