We stayed 3 nights at Little Chembaka and did 4 cruises with Sanu, namely 1 sunset cruise and 3 sunrise cruises. We didn’t realise this before we came, but this place has two relatively small but comfortable boats, whereas most of the boats out on the lake are the big house boats you associate with the backwaters here. I am soooo glad we took the smaller boats as it meant we could go down the smaller, more intimate canals that the other boats could not. So not only did we have a better view of the close-up nature and village life as we floated by, but there were also NO other boats. So the sunrise cruise, the water would be wonderfully still, the reflections amazing, just the sound of birds, and the golden sun rising up over the horizon as we slowly headed east on one of the small canals. I’d highly recommend using this company and Sanu who’s a nice guy too.
