Kumarakom houseboats, also known as Kettuvallams, are a popular way to experience the Kerala backwaters. Here's a summary of what you can expect: Construction: They are traditionally made with jackfruit tree wood, coconut fiber, bamboo poles, and palm leaves, tied together with coconut fiber ropes. Facilities: Modern houseboats are like mini-resorts, offering bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, lounges, and sun decks. Some even have air conditioning, TVs, and hot water. Crew: Each houseboat is manned by a crew that typically includes a captain, oarsmen, a guide, and a cook. Experience: You can choose from day cruises or overnight stays. Overnight stays usually involve about 5 hours of cruising, with the houseboat anchored for the night. Accessibility: Cochin International Airport is the nearest airport. You can also reach Kumarakom by boat from Muhamma or by bus.
