A houseboat in Kerala is also known as Kettuvallam. It means a boat made by tying pieces of wood together. You will be shocked to know that not even a single nail is used in the making of Kerala houseboats! The material that is used to make these boats is local and eco-friendly like bamboo mats & poles, coconut fiber ropes etc. These traditional boats were a common mode of transport in ancient times. Now these 80 foot long boats have been converted into luxury houseboats.
Houseboats in Kerala are the major attraction for tourists who visit the state. A Kettuvallam generally has one or two attached bathrooms, an open lounge, deck, kitchen and a boat crew including two oarsmen and a cook. Traditional lanterns are used as lights.
