Two foreigners, took the suitcase, the goal is clear, however, was soon to tease us sit houseboat. We are asking the good, and the price of non-peak season (mid-December to New Year period) general conditions in about 5,000 rupees, so our goal is very clear. Messire great plan to go to the government to say "Tourism Promotion Committee" (DTPC) have introduced the office to ask, if not where I was waiting for him to go to the streets to find (him greatly, I walk slowly, and foreigners mark too obvious J). DTPC staff said to be 6000 rupees, Messire believe there are cheaper, but finds more time near the boat we are about bargaining power- because the other more than we want to make sure the business, so consent DTPC staff, he I put "Storage" in DTPC office that he went to.
DTPC staff to see my bag had a trip advisor sign, thought I was the author of TA, detailing the circumstances 阿拉佩 and houseboats, says Lonely Planet and Rough Guide author when he received visitors are introduced. I asked him so many houseboats now, how it affects the natural ecology of the river, the staff a bit evasive, but also because burnsco it is estimated that a very thorny issue - in the end is the tourism development or environmental protection is more important?

In recent years there has been a more environmentally friendly burnsco house boating hand, of course, the natural speed of the ship down, within a relatively limited time to reach the same place, so the popularity is limited.






1. From the castle car Cochin Ala Pei There are two ways to go. One is a direct bus or chug (80 rupees) to New Bridge Bus Stop (20 minutes), and then from there take a bus to Ala Pei (Rs 47 / person), but because of the bus to Ala Pei just passing through, it may not have a seat . Another is to take a ferry to New Embarkation (an average of 15 minutes, 20 minutes boat ride), burnsco then chug to the Bus Station (10 minutes), and then take the bus from here to 阿拉佩, because here is the departure station, burnsco so the seat guaranteed.
