In the hustle-bustle of todays busy
lifestyle, we are all constantly on a look out for someplace
quite during vacation where we get to spend some quality time
with our near and dear ones in a beautiful, relaxing and refreshing
ambience. Well, your search ends here, at the Fascinating
Kerala Houseboats. An intricate network of lagoons, lakes,
rivers, backwaters, beaches, the picturesque landscape of
Fascinating Kerala offers a wide range of Houseboats to rejuvenate
on.
The Houseboats of Kerala are giant country crafts, measuring
up to almost 80 feet in length. Once they ruled the backwaters,
heavily loaded with rice, coconut and other commodities. But
in the recent times, the kettuvalloms have been replaced by
more and modern modes of transport, leaving them to neglect
and decay. Houseboats today are a familiar sight in Kerala
with Alleppey alone supporting around 120 Houseboats
on its backwaters.
Keralas Kettuvalam are the most famous and traditional
houseboats also known as the Knot-boats because
of its unique feature of not using even a single nail in the
whole boat. Coir knots hold this Fascinating Kerala Houseboat
together. Modern Houseboats on the other hand offer all the
luxuries of a five star hotel. From furnished bedrooms, to
modern toilets, cozy living rooms to even a balcony are all
accommodated to make these Houseboats a moving haven on earth.
