Houseboat
House boat also known
as Boat house ,Rice boat And Kettu vallam
The houseboats in Kerala, south
India, are huge, slow-moving, exotic barges used for leisure trips. They are a
reworked model of Kettuvallams (in the Malayalam language, Kettu means
"tied with ropes", and vallam means "boat"), which, in
earlier times, were used to carry rice and spices from Kuttanad to the Kochi
port. Kerala houseboats were considered a convenient means of transportation.
Today,
the houseboats have all the creature comforts of a good hotel including
furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a
balcony
