Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Kerala soon and really want to experience the famous backwaters. I’ve heard Alleppey and Kumarakom are the most popular spots, but I’m a bit confused about how to plan it. * Should I go for a day cruise or stay overnight in a houseboat? * Are houseboats safe and comfortable during the monsoon season? * What’s the best time of year to get the most scenic experience? * Any recommendations for budget-friendly yet authentic options? * Apart from the houseboat, are there other activities worth trying in the backwater regions? Would love to hear your personal experiences or suggestions to make the most of the trip. Thanks in advance!
