It is Alappuzha or Alleppey and Kumarakom that comes to anyone's mind when thinking of houseboat cruise in Kerala. The foreign tourists have to travel all the way from Nedumbassery to these places, to embark on a backwater trip. To savour the beauty and serenity of Kerala's green-adorned villages. Even though Kochi also has backwaters, which could be used for houseboat cruise, the area was unexplored by tour operators.
Many of the tourists avoid houseboat cruise thinking of the long and tiring journey to and from these places. Besides, the journey consumes more time and affects the time available for the actual trip. In effect, the tourists who skip the trip and those undertaking, both are not satisfied at the end. As the former will feel that the Kerala trip was incomplete without the backwater cruise and the latter will not be able to enjoy the trip full to the brim due to the time constraints.
