Making of a Kerala House Boat Cruise in India or Kettuvallam The backwater destinations of Kerala can be best explored by the traditional thatched houseboats or Kettuvallam. Kettuvallams are giant country crafts, made by tying together pieces of jack wood together without using a single nail.

The construction of these boats require great skill and time. To construct a Kettuvallam, a variety of eco-friendly material like coconut fiber ropes, bamboo poles, bamboo mats and coir carpets are used.

The huge planks of Jack wood are first joined together by coir ropes and then coated with fish oil and cashew nut oil and left for several days. The boat is finally set on water after coating oil on the joint portions of the wood. These traditional boats can measure up to 80 feet in length.
