The crew woke us before sunrise without being asked because the birds were early. That is the whole trip in one sentence.

Cabins are small, which the listing says. Everything else exceeded what we paid.

A family operation running two houseboats out of Tahirpur. Three generations have worked these waters, and every crew member grew up on them.
