Although both are near by. I would refer the visitors to choose Kumarakom over Allepey if time is not a constraint.
HouseBoat:- Beware of the AGENTS! Yes, they are there. Always in search of short cut money. Dont go to Allepey and plan to book a houseboat, rather book a houseboat and then visit allepey else you might end up paying twice to feed AGENTS...... The prices they quote go up to 12K, 15K an 17K a times depending on how soft a target you appear against normal prices of 6k to 7k for a night........ House boats operate from 12 Noon till next day morning 9 AM........ House boat only moves for
Motorboats:- Make sure you visit the inner narrow canals of Kumarakom which is only possible with small motor boats in the evening time. They charge Rs 350 per hour for the entire family. Two hours trip in the evening to cover vembanad lake and canals would be a better experience than any.
