HOUSE BOATS, KERALA
(Star Rating - Deluxe)
Houseboats are traditionally
called 'Kettuvallam'. The modern houseboat has a long history dating
back hundred of years. These boats were used by merchants to transport
rice and coir from town to town. During those days roads were a few.
With the emergence of road transportation, these boats were forgotten.
Today, thanks to tourism, they have been modified into luxurious
single and double bedroom houseboats with attached bathrooms, kitchen,
verandah and much more.
