From the air, they look like a web of tiny silver threads spinning across the patchwork quilt of the Kerala coast. Canals, sometimes as narrow as an arm-span, sometimes broadening out into vast, misty lakes. Straight as an arrow, or curling gracefully through scented forests of coconut, pepper and cinnamon.

These are the backwaters of Kerala. And their life's blood are the boats that ply here, used for housing, transport, commuting, commerce and in recent times, pleasure.

The queen among these is the 'Kettuvallom', the traditional rice barge, with its sturdy build and stately carriage.
Today, the Kettuvallom offers the visitor to Kerala an entirely new kind of experience. Combining holidaying, pleasure boating and ecological living in an exhilarating way.
