Backwater places are really rare and peace loving people definitely enjoys it the most. It was our third centre in Kerala visit and the most thing I liked about it is the peace & calmness of the place. The Hotel we had stayed was also very lucrative, we had stayed at “Citrus Retreat” just at the shore; where the entry to the Hotel is to be done by a short travel in HouseBoat which is also a unique & joyous experience.
The alternative of staying in Alleppy/Kumarkom is the House Boat itself, but we preferred the Hotel instead of HouseBoat becoz of freedom to move out of the place. And Alleppy is just the replica of Kumarkom, though I have not seen Kumarkom but I prefer Alleppy over Kumarkom because of its a small place and can expect more of peace rather than a big place; (though Hotel facilities are more in Kumarkom as compared to.) And it’s the main activity over there is that “doing nothing” and “just relax” forgetting all the daily chores and worries of life. It is said that Alleppy is one of the 50 must see places in the world declared a few years back.
I did not find any more of Sightseeing places, just we had a 1 hour Sunset House BoatRide in the evening. But more of anything else, the view that we had from the balcony of our room was the upmost. And we had enjoyed swimming in the evening followed by massage, so all in all it was comprehensive.
And to summarize, its just that, what I had felt at that place; that next time even if I don't visit at any other place and just come over here for 2-3 days, then also it’s a nice idea for a good relaxation.
