Kumarakom
An unbelievably beautiful paradise of mangrove forests, emerald green paddy fields and coconut groves interspersed with enchanting waterways
and canals adorned with white Lillies - this is Kumarakom.
Kettuvallom - Houseboats
No trip to Kumarakom is complete without a backwater cruise on a houseboat.
Years back when the present rail and road networks were non-existent,
cargo movement was through waterways, with
which the state was naturally and abundantly blessed. Kettuvalloms were the crafts used for the purpose.
Kettuvalloms are large country boats, often measuring 80 feet and more, made from planks of Anjili wood, stitched together using coir ropes, and coated with a black resin made from boiled cashew kernels. These boats used to ferry goods across the state.
A holiday on a houseboat is a holiday with a difference. A seven star cruise liner can give you
thrills and frills. A houseboat on the backwaters off Kumarakom can give you Peace. And unlike a holiday on a resort, in a houseboat the sights are new, the sounds are new, every sensation is new every passing moment.
