The houseboat experience in Alleppey wasn’t what I expected at all. There was traffic on water, the boat only moves for a few hours only, the food was pretty average, and for the price you pay, it just didn’t feel worth it! Check my recent reel on more details. Coming to the alternative, I found the shikara/canoe ride better ♥️ ✨Takes you through narrow village canals ✨No crowd, no noise ✨You’ll see homes, kids, fishing, real Kerala ✨Way more peaceful & immersive experience ✨Also much more affordable 👉 Where to do this? 1️⃣ Alleppey small canal routes (ask specifically for village canals) 2️⃣Munroe Island (highly recommended) 3️⃣Kumarakom backwaters (less crowded than Alleppey) 💰 Cost (approx) Shikara ride: ₹800–₹1500 per boat Canoe (Munroe Island): ₹800–₹1500 Kayaking: ₹1200–₹2000 per person ⚠️ Important tip 👉 Tell agent not to take you through the main backwater route 👉 Don’t go for “combo packages” pushed by agents 👉 Don’t expect luxury 💢Check out my Alleppey fridge magnet, we are on a BUY 1 GET 1 sale! @wander.tag Store link in bio ✨ #travelinfluencers #travelinfluencerindia #indiantravelinfluencer #travelcreatorindia
