Kerala Houseboats (Riceboats) or kettuvallam are country boats that were used in the early days for the transport of goods from the isolated interior villages of Kerala Backwater area to the towns like Alleppey, Kollam, Cochin and Kottayam. 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 as a modern moving boat house that is kerala houseboats.
With our experience we suggest our clients to stay two nights in the houseboat, avoid busy schedule. Here we offer various houseboat tour packages. We like to give our clients 2 to 10 Houseboat backwater cruising packages.
