You can spend several hundred rupees to hire a speed boat with driver and ply the dreamy backwaters of Kerala for a day. Or you can take the capacious water taxis from Kottayam to Alleppey for a few pennies. On the way, the rumbling, trembling craft will pick up locals heading to market with their goods, and the local life will be experienced all around you.
