Kollam – Alleppey by ferryboat

Ferry from Kollam to Alleppey, Kerala, India


For some years now, there is a ferry from Kollam to Alleppey. This is probably the most inexpensive way to see a bit of the famous Backwaters.

Hey, folks, some of the canals are so narrow, it is simply NOT possible to get through by ferry.

By the way, some canals are so narrow it’s impossible for a houseboat to get through....










In my eyes, this was a great 8-hour journey by ship through canals, rivers and lakes. What more could you want for the equivalent of 5.- Euro?
