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
