Kerala Houseboaters
The Kettuvallam (houseboats in Kerala) was a large floating structure with high loading carrying capacity was a part of Kerala's culture and heritage over the past years. houseboats / Kettuvallam of Kerala could sail harnessing wild energy. A journey through the lagoon is interesting, passing through sleepy villages, busy boat jetties and vibrant celebrations. The boat glides across the shimmering blue waters with gorgeous green and fringed edges.The small cargo boats called Kettuvalloms are frequently used in the waterways for the above purpose. "Kettu" literally means to tie up and "Vallom" means " boats". The boats played a major role in the economic development of ancient Kerala, moving cargo and men from the very nook and corner of otherwise unreachable area, cutting across the length and breadth of the land

HOUSE BOAT CRUISE

Cruising along the backwaters of Kerala will be an unforgettable experience in your life time. Meandering streams, chirpy birds, murmuring forests, and the slender breeze of god’s own country makes you feel the heaven is here. Above all, spending a night in the lap of nature inhaling the serene environment will calm your body and soul makes your journey worthwhile.

Hi Ed,

Actually, I have had several replies to my post on Bali, which I figure is the go-to place for finding accommodation there. I may use Ask a Travel Pro for other recommendations during our 3 months in S and SE Asia.

BTW, I believe this trip will yield several stories/reviews appropriate for EverettPotter.com; may I query you in this regard?

Happy Hannukkah,

Buzzy

Yes, I worked on a cruise ship and the tours were very expensive, but they are good for long journeys such as Marrakesh and Thailand where there is little time. Also in places that are kind of dangerous.
