We visited Kerala recently in end December which was the peak season. We had a wonderful trip in Kerala except its main attraction the houseboat. Due to peak season there were no houseboats available, and people were suggesting us for shikara ride. But one of the reputed houseboat operator gave us an package of Rs. 14000 in which shikara ride in the day time and then a houseboat in the night.
Mr. Ranjan, who promised about very good service took full cash and gave a shikara to ride. It was an awesome experience of shikara before the most bitter experience we witnessed in our trip. Ranjan couldnt keep his promise, and he asked us that he is unable to provide any houseboat. He returned only Rs.7000/-, which meant our shikara ride of 4 hours costed us Rs. 7000/-.
My friends, never believe on https://allappeyhouseboatpackages.com website.
Ranjan only talks sweetly before you give the payment, but afterwords his service changes. He didnt even give us the receipt of 7000.
