Essential Travel Notes
Because Munnar and Thekkady are located at higher altitudes in the Western Ghats and naturally experience a very cool, misty climate, the hotel rooms provided in these destinations will be Non-A/C as a standard practice. For your overnight stay in the Alleppey Houseboat, please be aware of the strict operational timings: check-in begins at 12:00 Noon, the boat cruises through the backwaters until 5:30 PM, and it remains safely anchored from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM for security reasons. To comply with local ecological regulations and conserve battery power, the Air Conditioning in the houseboat bedroom operates exclusively between the hours of 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Optional leisure activities in Thekkady (such as Kathakali performances, martial arts, or elephant baths) and boat safaris in Periyar are not included in the base fare and must be arranged directly. All guests must carry a valid, original government-issued photo ID for mandatory hotel and houseboat check-in procedures.
