Picking the Backwaters Trail

You can reach Allepey by road from Cochin and board the houseboat from there. They'll drop you back at the boarding point if you want to or else in a completely different location depending upon your schedule. Do carry light clothes. Especially cotton shirts, tops and lowers. Those are comfortable. Carry your camera and chargers. Phones do work so take your charger along. You can also carry some movie CDs/DVDs as most of the houseboats have TV sets with DVD players. Most important of all, don't forget MOSQUITO REPELLANTS, especially the creams/gels. There's a huge variety available in the market these days. Carry snacks, eatables, toiletteries as well. Carrying some bottles of mineral water would also help. Most of the houseboats have these too. But yes, carry your booze along. You wont get anything else but 'Toddy' and Beer.

Ultimate place on earth.
