HOUSEBOATS OF KERALA


Today barges - huge and slow exotic boats used for leisure trips - are the reworked kettuvalloms ancient times. Traditional kettuvalloms were used to carry tonnes of rice and spices - an average kettuvallom carrying up to 30 tonnes - from Kuttanad to the Kochi port.


The kettuvallam (Houseboat) or 'boat with knots' - is so called because the entire boat is made up of nodes that coir - without using a single nail for construction. The boat is made of planks of wood joined with coir. The assembly is then coated with black resin made from cashew nut shells boiled. Regular maintenance keeps a kettuvallom for generations.


Part of kettuvallom is covered with bamboo and coir to serve as toilets and kitchen crew. Meals are cooked on board and supplemented with fresh fish from the backwaters. Today, this tradition is still alive and the food of the local cuisine is served by the local Kuttanad on board.


When the modern trucks replaced this system of transport, someone found a way to keep these boats, almost all of whom had more than 100 years. By constructing special rooms to accommodate travelers, these boats have to avoid extinction and can now enjoy their great popularity.



BARGES (KETTUVALLOMS) KERALA


The Houseboats of Kerala, giant boats from local crafts, have almost disappeared in the state. They traditionally ruled the backwaters, led by one or two men with poles, heavily laden rice, coconut and other items. But lately, the kettuvalloms were replaced by more modern means of transportation, and relegated, they might disappear.
