Houseboat Holidays

 

Backwaters of Kerala offer an amazing array of holidaying options in Kerala. Caressed by the Arabian Sea in the southern tip of India, Kerala backwaters are complex network of lagoons, lakes & canals. Cruising down the backwaters is an experience to cherish for a lifetime. Life on the backwaters is entirely different; water being the key to everything.

The Kettuvallam or 'boat with knots'- was so called because the entire boat was held together with coir knots only - not even a single nail is used during the construction. The boat is made of planks of jack-wood joined together with coir. This is then coated with a caustic black resin made from boiled cashew kernels. With careful maintenance, a Kettuvallom can last for generations.

A portion of the Kettuvallom was covered with bamboo and coir to serve as a restroom and kitchen for the crew. Meals would be cooked on board and supplemented with fresh fish from the backwaters. Today, the tradition is still continued and the food from the local cuisine is served by the Kuttanad localities, on board.
