The Houseboat ancestry can be traced to the traditional kettuvallams, native rice barges.  The modern Houseboat is constructed with eco friendly local raw materials.  To cruise down the meandering backwaters the hull carved from Anjili Wood is treated with traditional lore to make it water resistant.  The arched roof, canopy, “Valavara” is made from bamboo, Arcanut tree and bound with natural Coir.  The flooring too is of wood and marinated plywood.
