Question Staying in Kerala...? Need help?

Hellozz Im'ers...

I am plannin to be in and around kerala for a month (in dec 2005)... Im planning to hit places like Munnar, Allepey, Cochin and if possible the Lakshadweep islands....

Now the question was that Are there any cheap hotels in the above places....??

I have heard and seen Advertisements of resorts etc.. (esp. in lakshadweep) but don't know if there are any other shack kinda hotels to just board.....

I'm not a stickler for Great comfort.... I just need a roof over my head, some place to write and read, electricity and a CLEAN bed.... (of course with toilets etc...attached/ unattached...no problemo...!)

Cheap for me would be something in the range of 200-300 bucks.... (i guess the hotel would be considerate to give me a discount for 25-30 days.. i feel so...correct me if i'm wrong..)

Particularly, are there any small Hotels/lodges/guest houses in Lakshadweep islands of Agatti, Kalpeni & Kavaratti also....?
I couldn't find anything much on the hotel listings of IM on kerala....

Do let me know please and make my trip....

Thankszzz

hello friend you can get cheaper rooms in most of the places especially in kovalam, varkala and may be even in fort cochin, except in the peak season time ,
the rates starts from even 100 Per day for a bath attached room.

Doesn't get any more peak than that! Consider that it is the coolest (well, least scorching), most tourist-friendly time in the climate, and that NRIs are getting their Christmas holidays. This is reflected in the air fares too: I am flying to Chennai in early november for just under £400. My friend is going 3rd week of December: >£700!
