Hello
Going to India in a few week and will be going to Kerala, just wondering if anyone can recommend any websites/companies that offer good backwater cruises?
Is 1 night OK for a trip? The area does seem to be pretty huge so are there any routes that are better than others?
I was looking at starting in Alleppey but open to suggestions about alternative starting points.
thanks
mark

Hi,
One day for backwater cruise is enough.
Its better to make a round trip from the airport whr you are coming. If you could give the landing place sometimes i could suggest you an itnerary.
Please mail me if you want some rates of house boats.

Hi Mark,
Houseboats can be chartered in Allepey or Kollam. You should go to the DTPC information centres in Kollam or allepey. They will arrange a houseboat for you. You will find more information on www.keralatourism.org (with a detailled Backwater map).
Cheers,

hi there
10 days before I did a houseboat trip for 1 night in Kerala. It was fantastic! Our route was from Kumarakom to Alleppy and back to Kumarakom. I was with my wife and we had excellent time. Its very relaxing and we felt it would have been nice to have the second night too after the first day on boat. But its high season now and the boat had a booking with another guest.
The staff on the boat were really friendly, served excellent food and the rooms and kitchen were neat.
You could mail me to find out if this boat would be free on the dates required by you. The owner of the boat is a good friend of my family and could try to arrange you the best. He doesnt have a webpage and he has only 2 houseboats. We went on his houseboat named 'Aqua Jumbo', the boat was just 2 yrs old and looks very new.
