Backwaters in Three weeks in Kerala
Backwaters in Three weeks in Kerala
The best way to experience the backwaters is by renting your private house boat for a couple of days. Just imagine sitting on deck under the sun gliding through the canals and watching the palm trees, the rice fields, the birds, the forests, the small villages and the quietness. Or waking up at dawn looking out the window across the canal and seeing the palm trees beyond the fog, the sky slowly getting light and the sun coming out. What more do you want?
If possible book your boat through the Internet or a travel agent. It should be approx. €100/day for a decent boat including crew and all meals, though you can spend much more. One thing to look for is a boat with a solar panel to produce electricity, instead of a generator. It adds a lot to the romance if no noisy generator is on all night long.
To continue the itinerary: Hop off the boat in Kumarakom and take a taxi to the bus terminal in Kottayam. From there take the bus to Thekkady. Bus takes approx. four hours.
