Now a day’s one could see the fascinating houseboats (kettuvallams) which were once former Cargo boats, now restructured and fitted with all amenities. There will be a cook and 2 oarsmen to assist the guest in the boat. All food are cooked and served inside the boat where one could spend the night.
