Included/Excluded

Private houseboat for 3 hours
Licensed crew, fuel, life jackets
Tea/coffee and light snacks

Meals are typically not included in 3-hour short cruises (though tea, coffee, or light snacks might be offered—always double-check with SANCHARI).
Alcoholic beverages and special requests (like birthday cakes or decorations) are not part of the package.
The houseboat won’t enter narrow, tiny canals due to its size; for that, you’d have to book a smaller boat like a shikkara.
Don’t expect resort-style luxury or hotel amenities—think rustic comfort and authenticity, not five-star facilities.
Personal expenses, optional activities, and tips for the crew are excluded.
