Paying Tribute To Tradition
Vembanad lake
We took these old boats, called Kettuvalloms, and worked on them as craftsmen would. With imaginative tweaks, we converted them into stately floating homes to cruise the placid waters of the vast and captivating Vembanad Lake. Made from natural materials, these spice boats blend seamlessly with their surroundings, preserving the character of the lake.
The crew are simple fisherfolk, men who have known these waters since their early years. Yet they do more than just pilot these behemoths, alternating between navigating the waterways, preparing meals for guests onboard, and keeping everything shipshape. Their smiling faces reflect a culture famed for its accommodating and amiable ways. This is spontaneous hospitality, or what we call hospitality from the heart, a hallmark of CGH Earth.
