House
boat
on
the
backwaters
is
one
of
its
kinds
but
I
feel
this
was
a
real
waste
of
one
day.
Although
we
were
impressed
with
the
boat
-
very
spacious
and
comfortable
houseboat.
It
was
a
single
bedroom
premium
houseboat
with
full
time
AC
in
bedroom
and
dining
area
which
was
working
fine.
The
bedroom
was
neat
and
fairly
comfortable,
of
course
this
isn't
a
hotel,
so
the
toilets
and
showers
were
a
little
basic
but
clean.
There
was
no
upper
deck
on
the
houseboat.
We
had
vegetarian
food
and
it
was
superb
and
delicious,
especially
the
dal
which
we
had
in
dinner…just
yummy!
We
were
a
little
disappointed
with
the
limited
time
spent
cruising.
Check
in
time
is
12
noon
and
we
reached
there
by
12.30.
After
completing
certain
formalities
we
board
the
boat
around
1
p.m.
After
20-25
minutes
it
stops
for
1
and
half
hours
for
lunch.
On
our
request
they
started
the
boat
15
minutes
before
that
is
around
2.45
p.m.
and
we
then
moored
up
at
5.20pm
for
the
night.
This
was
the
worst
part
as
we
felt
that
we
were
in
a
parking
lot!
There
was
houseboat
both
the
sides
and
no
view
at
all.
In
the
morning
the
ride
started
at
8.50
am
and
finished
at
9.00
am
(10
min.
ride).
My
other
disappointment
was
the
traffic
of
houseboats
in
the
lake/backwaters.
It
was
not
peaceful
and
serene.
There
were
houseboats
everywhere
with
the
diesel
smell
and
fumes.
Though
we
enjoyed
our
cruise
on
the
backwaters
but
I
feel
the
better
option
is
to
take
some
4-5
hours
day
cruise
and
stay
at
any
good
hotel
or
resort.
