Read Carefully before you book a shared houseboat package.
This is a sharing houseboat for budget travellers to experience Kerala backwaters. understand the limitation and difficulties in shared houseboats.
The cost of maintaining a single bedroom houseboat is very high. So independent/private one-bedroom houseboat will cost 7500/- onwards (On-Peak Dates, Dec 20-JAN10, 12K-16K). To make an economical houseboat experience we come up with a package called “sharing a houseboat.” on a shared houseboat you will get a private bedroom in a large houseboat with an upper deck area and a large living space area.
Sharing houseboat
5 or 7+ bedroom houseboat is given as a sharing basis, each couple will get separate rooms with the attached bathroom in one houseboat. They can share a common lobby, dining area, top floor, sun deck etc, this is called a sharing houseboat.
Just think that you are staying at a 3-star hotel. You are getting a private room and you go to a common restaurant to dining. Similar way you are staying houseboat which is floating/cruising and you can hang out around the houseboat just like a hotel. There is enough space for all guests. The upper deck area is commonly using for dining purposes.
Please note:
- Maximum 3 adults allowed in 1 room including an extra bed.
- 12 yr and above considers as adults.
- Deluxe AC (9pm- 6am) provided.
- Cruise time starting is variable because of guests are coming from different destinations. if you are more concerned about time and quality of service please book an independent houseboat package.
Smruthi –
I was confused while booking shared houseboat. we have limited budget. also want to know whats is houseboat. So we end up with shared houseboat. While reaching on alleppey we found that the shared houseboats are larger than we can imagine. Big boat with multiple rooms and upperdeck. i feel that i stayed in hotel which is floating in backwater. 🙂 Its nice experience. Every rooms was bathroom attached. Its worthy every penny we spend. thatks
