House Boat (Kettuvallom)

The 'Kettuvallom' of Kerala is a giant country craft which is luxuriously furnished.

Kettuvallam is made entirely of jackwood planks tied (kettu) together with strong coir rope to form a huge barge(vallam). The boat is constructed without using a single nail and is coated with a special resin obtained from boiling cashew kernels. Each a masterpiece of intricate craftsmanship, the ‘kettuvallam’ lasts, not for years, but for generations.

House boat has furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a balcony for angling, an open lounge and a crew comprising of an oarsmen,a cook and guide. Experience the warmth and luxury awaiting you in the houseboat as it floats down narrow canals and waterways lined with swaying coconut palms and rustic landscapes.

During the house boat Cruise you can see some of the most spectacular backwater scenery  and overnight stay in the house boat with B/fast, lunch, Tea/Coffee, snacks  and dinner.
