Houseboat experience was best one. Houseboat staff was good, and very clean room they provided.
1- resort should be on main road as it does not hav good road to spice jungle, (Read More)Spice jungle management in food order and delivery was not good. No bowls provided for curries in breakfast. 2- Driver should at least understand some hindi as it would have been a better experience by communicating. Driver only understood some English so we were not able to talk and communicate properly. 3- On houseboat they only provide limited quantity of fish 🐠 , and for veg no special dish in lunch. Also is you provide photo of houseboat while booking it will be very helpful 4- Also, the entry price of all activities national parks, garden should also be mentionted to plan the trip efficiently
