KOLLAM HOUSEBOAT

KOLLAM HOUSEBOAT

If you are good at internet search, you may have already read a lot about Kollam houseboats and Alappuzha houseboats. Our guess is that still you may not be able to answer some simple questions on Kollam houseboat cruises and Alappuzha houseboat cruises. For instance, what exactly is the difference between the two? Or, which one is better for you?

Kollam houseboats vs Alappuzha houseboats

If you look at the Kerala map, you will find the district of Kollam right below Alappuzha – that is, just south of Alappuzha. A Kollam houseboat cruise from Alappuzha takes you through a southward journey. You travel along the length of Kerala, from north to south. On the other hand, a typical Alappuzha houseboat cruise, for instance to Kumarakom, is an eastward trip. You travel along the breadth of Kerala, from west to east.

So, it is all about directions, you may ask. Well, not exactly. Each trip has its own attractions. The consensus is that the eastward trip of the Alappuzha houseboat ride is more scenic and pleasing to the eye. But the southward trip offers more variety and better glimpses of village life on the banks of Ashtamudi Lake. The Kollam cruise is longer too. Which one is better? It is something subjective, really. Beauty, even that of something as originally charming as Kerala backwaters, lies in the eyes of the beholder.
