Kerala
Backwaters
Kerala House Boats
Kettuvallams, the stitched boats are the traditional house boats of
Kerala. They provide the best way to experience the colourful backwaters
of Kerala. The Kettuvalloms of Kerala are giant country crafts, measuring
up to 80 feet in length.
The traditional house boat, the indispensable part of the picturesque
backwaters of Kerala, was mainly used in Travancore and Kochi and
in the Minicoy Islands in olden times.
The wood commonly used to make Kettuvalloms is 'Anhili', which is
found in abundance in central Travancore area. Large planks are tied
together using hand made coir ropes and beaten coconut fibres.
This gives the Kettuvallams enough strength to withstand heavy waves
in the sea. These long cargo boats are a familiar sight on the backwaters.
These traditional house boats undoubtedly form one of the most abiding
images of the backwaters in Kerala.
Today, these goods carriers have been adapted to make the most exciting
tourism product in India, the luxuriously furnished house boat. Kettuvallams
or the 'house-boats of Kerala' dot the serene palm-fringed backwaters
of Kerala.
Kerala Luxury House Boats
The House boats of Kerala are converted into floating luxury dwelling
units. These house boats are available in all sizes and shapes, the
most popular accommodation type being a suite, having one or two bath
attached bedrooms, one living room, kitchenette, an open lounge, deck
and a crew comprising oarsmen, a cook and guide.
Kerala Backwaters House Boats
A sojourn in Kettuvallams, the House boats of Kerala, offers a panoramic
view of one of the most picturesque aspects of the God's Own Country.
One can cruise in it through the palm-fringed backwaters, throughout
a night in waxing moonlights.
The lullaby of the waves and the dazzling delights of the moonlit
night can be experienced by spending a couple of nights aboard the
Kettuvallam. The traditional house boat of Kerala is one of the most
enduring images of the backwaters.
