The Cost of Cruising Kerala

Q: We are looking at renting a boat at Allepey in Kerala, India for part of our honeymoon. Would November be a good time for a boat trip on the canals? We understand that the boats come with a pilot and a chef and the price includes meals. Could you tell us roughly how much we could expect to pay for a traditional houseboat with a double bed and airconditioning for two nights? - Ralph Green

A: The cheapest price for a two-person boat would be around 80 US dollars per night. However, the average price would be 150 US dollars per night, rising to 250 US dollars per night for a super-luxury cruiser. November is a perfect time to visit, as the weather is cool and dry. (19/9/10)
