Bay River Houseboats

Travelling to Alleppey for 3 days in March. Any suggestions on finding a good hotel/homestay and House boat?

We are planning for a 3 day visit to Alleppey in 3rd week of this month(March). Want to experience the house boat for a night and the places around Alleppey and Cochin. Any suggestions on house boat renting and good hotel are appreciated. Heard of the concept of homestays? How will it be for a 3 day visitor? Any suggestions are welcome.

4. 3 days a bit too much to do the houseboat expereince. Would recommend that you do a day cruise on the houseboat rather than stay overnight. The houseboat does not move at night and the mosquitoes can be a bit of a deterrant to a otherwise nice holiday. Ideally try and club Thekkady (day trip houseboat) with anoth destination like Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary or Munnar. Periyar would enable you to take a water trip into the heartland of the jungles where you can get an eyeful of elephants, etc in natural habitat. If there, I would recommend that you stay at Shalimar Spice Garden (www.anantara.in/shalimar.htm).. Munnar is nice and green with beautiful waterfalls and tea estates... Enjoy the trip Ravi Shankar www.anantara.in
