Best Options For Alleppey Backwaters Tours

Kerala backwaters offer unending charms and peaceful tour options for the traveler. There are many ways you can travel throughout Kerala backwaters, and some of these are:

Houseboats

Cruising along the backwaters of Kerala in a houseboat is an exotic experience that you wouldn’t want to miss during alleppey backwater tour packages. The houseboats offer 5-star facilities and designed for leisure trips. The houseboats are expensive to stay and built from traditional materials. The houseboats provide isolation to the traveler and give them a picturesque view of sunrise and sunset. Alleppey has the most significant number of houseboats, and they are exceptionally well maintained. They include several bedrooms, an attached bath, a deck to view the locals, kitchen, and service members for the guests.

Motor Boats

Motorboats are faster and speedier options to enjoy the backwaters of Kerala than houseboats. Motorboats are mostly used for transportation for the cruise. The speedboat can power speeds up to 50 km/hr. And are powered by engines and motors. Most motorboats come with two guest cabins and one engine cabin.

Government-Run Ferry Transport System

Kerala State Water Transport Department (KSWTD) runs frequent boating services and offers mass transit options for the tourists for their alleppey backwater tour. These boat services cost-effective and speedy services to the people in Kerala. The state governments run these boats are considered as the cheapest option to travel through the backwaters. There are at present 85 ferries plying all over Kerala. The boats can carry around 50-100 passengers at a stretch. There are numerous routes which the tourists can avail according to their preferences. The authorities regularly inspect most of these boats, but it is better to inspect them before boarding.

Shikaras

These are small boats that are chosen by the tourists and can accommodate up to 8 adults depending on the size of the alleppey backwater tour. The fare of the country boats varies between Rs 300-500, and no booking is required. You need to go to the dockyard to purchase your ticket. Shikaras can be hand or motored and can penetrate the narrowest waters. Shikaras are built with traditional coir materials and are fitted with aluminum at the base. Shikaras are light and prone to accidents, so, while booking these boats check for the driver's licenses as they meet with frequent injuries.

Tips

The tour of Alleppey is going to be etched in your memory for a long time to come. However, there are some small tips which you need to remember.

  • Don’t forget to take your cameras with you while going cruising in the backwaters
  • Always carry your binocular for bird watching because Alleppey is famous for spectacular flora and fauna
  • Wear light clothes if you are traveling in summer. During light, winter woolen is sufficient because Kerala is extremely hot
  • Keep cash in handy because there are places where net banking doesn’t work
  • Take enough medications for fever, vomiting, headache because you don't know when these ailments will strike.
