KETTUVALLAM :
Earlier
Houseboats of Kerala are known as "Kettuvallam",
these huge, ling and tapering

barges
were traditionally used to cargo tonnes of goods across kingdoms, with portion
covered with bamboo and coir serving as a rest room and kitchen for the crew.
A familiar sight on the
Backwaters, these vessels are built entirely
without nails. Plants of jackwood are joined together and coir rope and coated
with caustic black resin made from boiled cashew kenels. With careful maintenance
they last for generations. Today widely and appropriately called
Luxury
Houseboats, they carry furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living
rooms, a kitchen and even a balcony for angling. As you cruise down the canal
you can see morning newspaper and mail delivery by boat, vendors in boat paddle
from house to house selling everyday provisions like rice, vegetables, oil,
kerosene etc. with hundreds of quacking ducks around. Also you can see village
activities, fisherman's activities and see old beautiful temples, churches
and old fashioned Kerala.
2 nights/ 3 days cruise will be ideal to explore this magnificent backwater
& houseboat tours of Kerala.
