To begin, let me say hello.
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.
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.
