Great experience
I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a houseboat day tour from Sanchari, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout the trip. The rooms were clean and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable journey. The highlight, however, was the delicious Kerala cuisine prepared onboard by their talented chef. I had an amazing time cruising through the backwaters of Alleppey, and I highly recommend Sanchari Travels to anyone looking for a memorable adventure in Kerala.
