Hey, guys, I went to Kerala last months before Onam festival.
Alleppey is well known for the backwaters. The scenery is fabulous. The classical houseboats are available the price of service is different as per every houseboat. On the spot, booking is really available during Onam festival and that time they charge more cost for 24hr.
We were gone to Alleppey during Nehru Trophy Boat race.
To reach alleppy we have to travel through Bus from Kochin or one can book ola or Uber.
Kollam beach is on 30 km from Alleppey.
We booked a 3BHK houseboat and the staff was so nice. They care about us at all. The food is available on the houseboat and test of food was yummy.
In Safety point of view, we can see police in speedboats all time for help tourist. We can see their fisherman catching the fishes and the huge rise farms can also be seen.
