DTPC
operates
several
boat
services;
please
check
their
website
as
itenary
may
change
time
to
time.
I
took
the
Kollam
to
Alleppey
boat.
It
was
a
great
experience.
Below
are
my
comments.
This
boat
service
is
government
operated
and
hence
cheaper
than
others.
This
service
was
used
by
locals
for
commuting
between
places
along
the
water
way.
However,
now
few
locals
use
this
as
other
means
of
transport
are
available.
Mostly
tourists
only
use
this.
The
boat
runs
from
Kollam
to
Alleppey
and
Alleppey
to
Kollam
on
alternate
days.
Contact
their
office
to
get
exact
days
and
time
of
run.
There
are
two
halts
for
lunch
and
evening
snacks.
Please
carry
drinking
water
as
there
is
nothing
onboard.
You
may
also
carry
some
snacks
as
per
your
need.
The
total
journey
from
Kollam
to
Alleppey
takes
8
hours.
The
scenery
is
good
but
8
hours
may
be
too
much.
It
was
for
me.
We
got
down
at
the
snacks
stop.
You
can
take
ticket
for
in
between
stops
also
and
get
down
there.
You
can
then
take
other
means
of
transport
like
bus.
