About Sanchari — Houseboats & Backwater Experiences

Sanchari is a locally run travel company based in Alleppey (Alappuzha), curating honest, well-run houseboat cruises and backwater experiences across Alleppey, Kumarakom, and Vembanad Lake. We believe great hospitality is simple: clean boats, good food, safe crews, and transparent pricing—no surprises.

Our Story

Sanchari began as a small backwater outfit led by Jithu Tom Palackal, a boat owner turned operator from Alleppey. What started with a few personally supervised charters has grown into a tight team and a trusted brand—still hands-on, still local, still obsessed with guest experience.

One of the best Houseboat's in Alleppey
How to plan with us is easy: Tell us your dates, group size, and what you enjoy—quiet corners, birdlife, photography, seafood, or simply a boat with lots of sunlight. We’ll suggest a route and boat category, share a clear quote, and send a tidy voucher once you’re happy. On cruise day, you’ll get a location pin, smooth check-in, and a crew that treats you like friends. If you’re reading this, you’re probably dreaming of Kerala—of water, trees, and sky stitched together in long, green lines. We’d love to host you here. Whether it’s a family’s first houseboat night, a honeymoon with soft sunsets, a group of friends mixing a cruise with a trek, or a solo traveller chasing quiet—Sanchari is ready with real people, real planning, and the kind of care that doesn’t shout but shows up. Come as a guest. Leave as a backwater regular.
