Kerala backwaters have beckoned to international tourists for ages now. Lord Curzon called Allepey, the ‘Venice of the East’. The traditional rice boats ‘Kettuvallams’ turned into elegant houseboats for international tourists offer the best way to explore the beauteous panoramas of Kerala. Stretching over 1500 km, Kerala’s waterways are placid and serene. Bound by swinging palm trees and dense green forests on both sides, they present a very pretty picture. You will find it a wonder to know that not a single nail is used to hold any part of the hull of these large boats together. Instead, especially tied knots hold the logs together.
