After an fascinating experience back in Varkala , it was time to sail through the Backwater's of Kerala in Allappuzha a.k.a Alleppey.
It was sunny day and for the first time in my life i din't wanted to leave a place where i was emotionally attached and felt low while signing off from Lost hostel at Varkala. But as it says, Journey must continue...... Now let me be clear here, Never in my "Solo Travel" journey i ever traveled by train.
As Varkala to Alleppey ride is like an couple of hr journey, i prefered taking general ticket rather opting for standard one. It costed me around 50rs which was the cheapest ticket on that route. Too my luck it was sunday and due to off-season train was half-empty though general coach was having a lil bit of rush but at the end i got seat. It was indeed one of the most beautiful scene-tic ride of the country. Kerala fascinate's at every point of the trip.
It was mid-day and i landed up in Alleppey and quickly checked into Zostel where i was suppose to spend my night. Oh boy, they have constructed this place so well and the location is so perfect that it's worth visiting this place.
I quickly had a bite on my noon meal and started exploring the place for a bit, went all the way to boating point and waited for some amazing snaps. As the boat ride through through backwater was about 2hr to 3hr ride i opted out from taking it. I preferred hanging around the city rather taking boat ride as i found the hype which people created for the city has been lost somewhere.
While returning back to Zostel, i found few of my #Zosteller (People who stay's at Zostel) friend's walking down the lane. They were hunting down a nice bakery, as it was 1 of there friend's birthday. We walked through the ravishing roads of Alleppey and ended up buying all the stuff which was needed for the party. It was almost time for sunset and we quickly headed back to our rooms and started walking on the dazzling Alleppey Beach 🏖
It was that time when i realized this was the last day of my Kerala Trip and i have to live each and every moment of it. As the time pass by our Zosteller group was getting bigger and as most people were solo traveler's everyone were mixing up pretty well.
At that night each and every Zosteller was in "Cafe Catamaran" where jazz music was been performed by very much talented musician's.
We had a blast at that night and it all has went in memories,pictures and blog's. It was time for cake surprise to the birthday girl's. Yes, another traveler all the way from England was also having her special day. We were around 10 of us chit-chatting and sharing our experience's and getting to know about new places which every individual visited. It was indeed those night of your life where you expect it shouldn't end and time should stand by.
It was past mid-night and all i knew was that i have to catch an early morning train to kochi around 6am. But i din't care as there are only few moments in life where you can experience such an amazing company to be with. So before i forget all of there name's let me just re-call them here so that it will be there on my blog page forever everytime i wished to recollect the memory. So the Zosteller's whom i met were Anoosha,Ayush,Vasanthi, Alankrita, Shubhda, Alex,Sagar, Vita and more...... With that said, i waved a final goodbye for the night and asked them to be in touch through social media's and stuff.
Half-asleep i woke up in morning and prepared myself for the return journey, Caught the train on time and slept for an sweet hr. Kochi airport is damn far from the city and thankfully Metro has started in kochi just a month prior to my visit which made my journey more to ease. Met an amazing couple on the way while we shared our auto towards the airport after a comfy metro ride. No wonder Cochin airport is pretty well maintained and food rates are more cheaper as compared to that in other airport. There i flew all the way back to Mumbai with loads and loads of memories......
Also, as promised let me tell you how much did this trip Cost me?????
Overall costing for this trip is 8500₹ which includes flight fare's from Mumbai to Trivandrum and Cochin to Mumbai which costed me for just 4k. Also, as i stayed in dormitory rooms my per day room rent was 400₹ for 3nights. Bike rent and inter travel to the city never passed 1000₹ mark. It was indeed a budget trip for me.
With that said, it time to plan for new trip's. Do let me know if you find this blog informative and don't forget to check Vlog of my trip on Youtube. Click Here ---> Kerala Trip
