A total disappointment. The trees have vanished and houses have come up on either side of the river banks. There is no charm left in Alleppy backwaters and staying in the boat for the night is a bad option.

I had been very fortunate to see much of the world prior to my first trip. However my trip made for one of the most memorable and enjoyable in my life so far. You simply see and do things you would never think to plan on your own.
