We had a wonderful time exploring Kerala, from the houseboat experience and elephant rides to shopping malls and local shopping. Our stay at Munnar Mahal was excellent, and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to our driver, Abhilash, who treated us like family and made us feel at home throughout the trip. His kindness, hospitality, and safe driving made our journey comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend this experience!

Enjoyed the tour, thanks to our friendly guide Jithin. Would recommend! Decent lunch at one of the hotels on the way back.
Do bring an umbrella or raincoat just in case it rains.

It was very good. If there's a place you want to go, they'll take you there. They also took us to a delicious restaurant for lunch. The jungle safari tour was 350 RS for three people. They were very attentive and helpful throughout the trip.

Long day... But our guide/driver kept us entertained, gave us a lot of information about the locations and best view points. He gave us plenty of time to visit each attraction mentioned in the itinerary. Thanks to Tripbuggy for curating this unique itinerary. Otherwise, we would've missed these nice locations...
