The new generation houseboats are renovated forms of traditional Kettuvallams. Incorporating all the creature comforts of a hotel they provide well furnished bedrooms, modern bathrooms, cosy living spaces, DVD entertainment and beautifully crafted decorations. Eco Trails Houseboats operates one and two double bedroom boats. Most houseboats are powered by remarkably unobtrusive inboard diesel engines with supplemental generators to run A/C at night if desired. The included delicious traditional Keralan dishes are prepared fresh with consideration of your spicy preference. All food is purchased locally to support the communities; you may even get the chance to buy fresh prawns directly from a fisherman in his canoe to supplement your dinner meal!
The exquisitely crafted boats bring the best of traditional construction together with the beauty of modern design. Every year the outer woven roofs are replaced using eco-friendly and traditional materials. Bamboo mat roofs are intricately woven together without the use of nails or wires creating a stunningly beautiful design while being surprisingly strong and functional. The houseboats, in all their shapes and sizes, are something to behold but the true beauty lies in the real life scenery that slowly passes by while you glide along on shimmering water. Sit back in luxury while taking the views of village life, abundant birds, green rice paddies, serene nature, and gorgeous sunsets.
Kettuvallam literally means "bundle" or "package" boat. A house boat is about 60 to 70 feet in length and has a width of around 15 feet in the middle. The boat is made of wooden planks joined and stitched together using coconut fibre ropes. Usually the wood used will be 'Anjili'. The roof covering is made of bamboo poles and palm leaves. The outside of the boat is painted using cashew nut oil, which acts as a protective coating. During the time when road and rail transportation was expensive or unavailable, traders used Kettuvallam as a form of main transportation in the inland waterways. The boats had enough facilities for cooking and sleeping for the boatmen. Sometimes boatmen's families also accompanied them.
