Kettuvallom (House Boat) is a country boat that
was used in the early days for the transport of
goods from the isolated interior villages to the
towns. With the advent of roads, bridges and ferry
services, gradually the Kettuvalloms went off the
scene. Now these kettuvalloms are back again as
a major tourist attraction. A ride on a Kettuvallom
is a fabulous way to explore the fascinating beauty
of the backwaters.
There are houseboats with fully furnished single
room, double room and triple rooms. All of them
have sundeck, private balcony with comfortable chairs,
kitchen and toilet with w.c. In addition there is
a separate rest room for the crew.
A glide in a Houseboat through the enchanting backwaters
of Alleppey is sure to rob your heart. Palm fringed
narrow canals winding through the vast expanse of
paddy fields and the neat tiny hamlets lined up
along either side of the canals are panoramic sight
one can never forget.
