1 day boathouse rentals start from 8500. During the summer months, they don't even switch on fan. Only while it's docked near the quay it's gets power connection. But the more expensive ones (> 20000) have good facilities. If you are expecting a day long cruise, u r in for big disappointment. The boat travels from Kumarakom and cruises in backwater for 2hrs, anchors at pathiramanal for 3 hrs, starts back to Kumarakom for 2 hrs and docks for the night, next day it cruises for another 30min after breakfast. There are country boats which cruise through smaller canals for 300/hr/person. Since boathouses are prohibited after 5:30, these are good options to explore and experience sunset. Suggestions:
1) Boathouse on Day1 and Good Resort stay on Day2.
2)Stay on Alappuzha side so after 5:30 you could check out the beach.
3) Stay on a 5star resort and go for lunch or dinner cruise. There's hardly any difference.
