We took a ferry for 2.5hrs to get to Allepey where most people go on a houseboat cruise round the backwaters. We booked our boat when we got there and looked at three boats before we found one of a decent standard. It has a lovely large sitting area and our own en suite bathroom. There were three crew - two to run the boat and our own chef. The scenery really was lovely and it was so peaceful. We sat there watching the scenery drift past whilst intermittantly imbibing whatever wee snacks the chef periodically produced. We anchored in the middle of a lake at night but in a large storm we ended up dragging our anchor and intentionally arrived at shore with a slight bump of the boat. It was the only thing on the trip that didn't go as planned and we immensely enjoyed the trip on the boat.
