Best Kerala Boat House Booking

Cruising on a houseboat around the backwaters of Alleppey is a quintessential Kerala experience that one should look forward to. Let’s understand how the Kerala Houseboat is made.

A houseboat is usually 67 feet long with a width of 13 feet in the middle. As far as its manufacturing is concerned, indigenous eco-friendly materials such as bamboo poles, bamboo mats, coconut fiber ropes, jack-wood, and coir carpets are used. For making the body of the houseboat, Artocarpus wood or jack-wood is put into use. This wood is cut into planks of 5-6 cm breadth, and to give them the shape of a boat, their ends are tied with coir. Nails are not used even once in the construction of a houseboat. Afterward, a coat of caustic black resin is done on the houseboat. This special coat mixture is made from boiled cashew kernels. Once the basic construction of a house is completed, all the other facilities are added to it. With a good amount of care, houseboats can last for generations.

The facilities in a Kerala houseboat are no less than a hotel. A houseboat is available in different shapes and sizes and has the option in the number of rooms, a fully-equipped kitchenette, a deck, an open lounge area, attached bathrooms, and so on. All the houseboats are manned by a driver and a chef, and we hit the jackpot with ours who were both very friendly and easy to be around.
