Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Your first lesson in Malayalam, the local language: vallom means boat. Kettu means knot - the hardwood hulls used to be tied rather than nailed together. For centuries, they have been the chief means of transport for people and goods; a big kettuvallom like the Katherine has the capacity of half-a-dozen articulated lorries. Adapted as houseboats, these beautiful craft are still built from traditional local materials. (Yes, the roof is thatched.) .
