By popular demand, I will be timely in posting details about my weekend trips.
I am returning from one of the most serene & beautiful weekends I have ever spent. What made it so unique? The fact that I spent an entire day on a houseboat. Houseboats bring visions of Kerala & Kashmir to mind. But, this is in the usually dreaded Andhra Pradesh!
For a weekend away from Hyderabad, this trip is ideal. Jellyfish, dolphins, tropical riverbanks, peaceful cruise, trip to a tiny river island with coconut plantations, cozy cabins, an upper deck for ourselves & diving into the river from there, swimming, spectacular sunset, faraway beach, long but scenic rickshaw ride, a locked rectangular lighthouse, etc. were the highlights of the weekend.
Food was alright, nothing to rave about, nor was it horrible.
The train ride was also convenient, took the Narasapur-Hyderabad Express for the round trip. The overall trip cost me about Rs. 10000 split 4 ways. The houseboat itself costs a crazy Rs. 5040 which makes it imperative that you do it with a group and not solo. I had great company and will remember this weekend for a long time because of the people as well as the place.
