Kerala Houseboat Tour
Kerala houseboat is a wonderful experience when ever you comes to Kerala you must go for it. It is huge, slow moving, exotic barge used for leisure trips. The importance of this boat is, entire boat was held together with coir knots only. not even a single nail is used during the construction. The boat is made of planks of jack-wood joined together with coir. This is then coated with a caustic black resin made from boiled cashew kernels. With careful maintenance, a kettuvallom can last for generations.
