Articale writing on Houseboat of kerala

The Kerala houseboat is a modified kettuvallam, the large boat of yesteryears. In Malayalam, ‘kettu’ means to tie and ‘vallom’ means boat. These boats were held together with rope and hence the name. Kettuvallams were used for the transportation of goods like rice and spices from Kumarakom and areas of Kuttanad to neighbouring towns.

It is now a tourist attraction and a popular mode to explore the magnificence of the Kumarakom backwaters.
