Pune to Kerala Expedition: Exploring the South's Serene Beauty | Gods Own Country - Part2
KALATHIL LAKE RESORT:-
This Lake Resort is ideally located in the north of Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, and is just 25 km away from Kochi (Cochin), the Queen of Arabian Sea. Alleppy (Allappuzha), the Venice of the East is only one-hour drive away.
Facing Lake on eastern, western, and northern sides and lagoon on the southern side, the resort gives a spectacular view to the visitors. The villas are erected on pillars in water. Interspersed with meandering canals and paved walkways, the resort is a soothing experience with its sheltered Aquatic Spa, Fresh Water Pond, manicured lawns, and swaying coconut palms.
The Alleppey Houseboat Operation
The houseboat operation is not like hotels/resorts and it is entirely different. You are using a hotel/resort just for a stay at night or day and you are going outside for sightseeing or any other activities and the Houseboat is not only for a stay, but it also cruises for a particular time and you will remain in Houseboat for the entire day and night. All food is prepared and served in the houseboat itself. Do not compare the houseboat with the facilities in hotels/resorts. The maintenance cost for the Houseboat is very high and have to do the maintenance regularly. This is the reason; the rates are comparatively high for Houseboats that are well maintained.
There are more than 1000 houseboats in and around Alappuzha, so you have a lot of options to book a houseboat directly or indirectly. Apart from this, there are a lot of houseboat booking portals also. So, you have a lot of options on the internet to select the Houseboat. But when selecting the Houseboat, you must be aware of the Quality of the Houseboat, their service, safety, and security, how the staffs are, as a traveler it’s difficult to know, so it is always better to book a houseboat with a reputed houseboat service provider especially those how are operating locally. So they will be always available to help you if you face any issues.
The Houseboat Rates
The rates of the Houseboat vary from Operator to Operator. You will get a houseboat with good service when booking with a reputed houseboat provider. You can negotiate with any, but it will reflect the Quality of Service and Cruise. So, normally when you negotiate some will reduce the rate at the same time they will adjust in the traveling and other services.
Always remember you are doing a houseboat trip to enjoy the backwater. So do not fall in cheap houseboats and very attractive photos. Most of the guests are looking for where they get the cheapest rate and attractive photos not thinking about the quality and service which makes most of the negative reviews about houseboats on the internet.
