Best Options For Kerala 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:

Kerala Government Boats

These boats are run by the state governments and are considered as the cheapest options to move through the backwaters. The boats are usually crowded because these are one of the few transport options available to the general public. You will find these boats from the ship stands located throughout Kerala. 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 examine them before boarding.

Houseboats

Houseboats are the most popular options to stay in Kerala backwaters. The houseboats are like 5-star facilities and offer everything to the traveler.

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. Most of these boats meet with accidents regularly because inexperienced drivers drive them. So, while booking these boats check for the drivers and the boat licenses of the ship for a hassle-free journey.

Motor Boats

The speedboat can power speeds up to 50 km/hr and are powered by engines and motors. There are no food or toilet facilities in the motorboats and are available from 6 am to 6 pm. Most motorboats come with two guest cabins and one engine cabin. The motorboats lets you travel fast through the narrow alleys of backwaters.
