Luxurious or rustic? Sharing a houseboat with 7 people in Kochi, India

Our 2-week tour of India has already taken us through the back alleys of Delhi, the sights of Agra, the palaces of Jaipur, and the lakeside ruins of Udaipur. Now, we’ve headed to the country’s southern tip for a truly unique, overnight experience, on the waters of the Alleppey. Will this excursion be the ultimate in authentic travel or will it be a bit too laid back for our adventure-hungry family?
