A vacation
in a house boat – a simply unique
and memorable experience. The house
boats are like luxury hotels set afloat.
As you drift on the backwaters of
Kerala, you will find yourself being
enchanted by the exquisitely beautiful
sceneries around you.
The House boats
themselves are converted Kettuvallams.
Kettuvallams were used as the main
mode of transport for ferrying tons
of rice and spices from the inner
isolated villages to the towns and
cities. Now renovated and giving all
the comforts of a luxury hotel, these
Kettuvallams rule the tourism industry
of the Backwaters in Kerala.
Made without
a single nail by tying together planks
of wood with coir ropes, these Kettuvallams
are very strong and last for generations
together. As you glide through the
waters in these Kettuvallams you feel
refreshed by the fresh air.
These house boats
are available to cater to every requirement
of the tourists. With one bedroom
house boats, you are fully free to
stop any where and can have the run
of the whole house boat.
The crew consists of three members
– two oars men and a professional
cook. The cook backs up as a guide
as well. To have a party just link
together two and more house boats
to form a boat train.
