- LMLuka· May 30th, 2025Our family trip through southern India was unforgettable. South India cultures was fascinating. The houseboat ride in Alleppey was one of the highlights watching the sunset over the backwaters was magical. Our driver was very helpful, always checking in with us to make sure we were comfortable. The hotels were perfect for our family, and the food was delicious at every stop. A wonderful experience for families.Show more
