999 - The Allepey Boathouse

From Fort Kochi we drove to Allepey which is not very far away. We arrived in Allepey around 12.30pm and there were 4 boathouses waiting for our group. There are about 5 rooms in each boathouse that means one room was to be shared by 2 people from our group.

 

There are 4 boat crew on each boathouse which includes a driver (skipper??!! or helmsman?? ) , a cook etc. We spent our time on a boathouse cruise from 12.30pm until 7pm and then spent a night until the next morning (11 pm). The views were spectacular..!

 

Lunch, dinner, tea time were served in the boathouse and it was really one of the highlights for our trip to Kochi this year.
