"The boat trip was one of our favourite experiences in India. The boats are really well kept and you can see as much of the backwaters as you like (at a very good price). We actually got engaged on our trip, as the surroundings are beautiful and you have some rare peace and privacy on the water. We highly recommend boating with Prithvi Shikara!!!"
