Shivang's 5 days trip to Kerala

My trip was kerala was arranged by Namaskaram travels. My agent Sunny was very helpful throughout the trip. However I had some bad experience through the trip. The hotel in Munnar, Grand Valley, which was given to me in a 4 star package package was not of the standard for a 4-star. The location of the hotel was 100-150 m steep down the road, which could only be reached through hotel jeep, our traveller stayed out. A good hotel but not a 4 star. The next day, my traveller broke down on our way to Thekkady and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere for a couple of hours. The agency arranged for another traveller which covered our itenary for that day and dropped us to our hotel, Woodnote, which was the best in our trip. Local arrangements were made for our siteseeing in Thekkady, which were also good. Finally, a new traveller was assigned to us for our remaining trip, with with we covered Allepy and our drop to Kochi. Overall: Traveller Experience: 2/10 Grand Valley View, Munnar: 4/10 Woodnote, Thekkady: 10/10 Time Square, Allepy: 7/10 Agent Communication: 10/10 Travel Triangle Communication: 10/10

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 houseboats are expensive to visit and usually avoided by budget travelers. The houseboats provide isolation to the traveler and give them a picturesque view of sunrise and sunset. The Kerala backwaters houseboat packages include several bedrooms, attached bath, a deck to view the locals, kitchen, and service members for the guests.

Country Boats

These are small boats which are chosen by the tourists to travel around a small region. The boats can accommodate up to 8 adults depending on the size. 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

Motor Boats are a far more economical way to enjoy the backwaters of Kerala than houseboats. Motorboats are mostly used for transportation for cruise. 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.
