What's Good: We started our journey from Kochi. We visited Munnar, Thekkady, Kovalam kanyakumari and Alleppey and back to Kochi for our return flight. Mr Fahim makes our whole tour plan after (Read More)consultation with me and during our tour he always get in touch with us. He is a excellent tour planner. Our Driver Mr Firoj was also very nice person. He guided us during our trip. Thanks to Fahim and Firoj for making our Kerala Tour so memorable. Thanks to Holidify also because they connected us with Mr Fahim of Corbett Step Hospitality...

A Seamless Holiday Experience with Aswamedham Holidays Aswamedham Holidays truly exceeded our expectations. Their commitment to transparency and flexibility made our trip incredibly smooth.

What impressed us most was their constant availability and willingness to assist with any concerns or modifications.

Pratibha's Trip to Kovalam, Kanyakumari, Varkala

Resort and hotel suggestions to suit my budget and strategically selected closer to places of interest was truly 5 star service from the agent. My solo trip was made safe and comfortable. Great sugge (Read More)stions were made to choose places to visit to make the trip fun, enjoyable and memorable. This awesome trip in a very long time was fun and refreshing. The paradise in Kerala will transcend your soul to haven. People are welcoming and friendly. I recommend Varkala tranquil beeches and Kovalam backwaters for the ultimate fun experience. Gods Own Country’s Kitchen is recommended for some great food and live music on the Varkala cliff point. If south temple architecture peeks your interest, then there are a few gems from ancient times hidden here to explore maintaining sanctity and faith in true form. Solo travellers pay couples rate which can be heavy on the purse. South India need to warm up to the idea that solo traveller numbers are increasing, male and female alike and in all age groups. Not only the cost of travel but people’s outlook need to change. Most of the temples here are only for believers in faith. Kanyakumari was crowded during the Diwali break. The seashore here is only to soak in the view. Thiruvananthapuram Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple darshan was divine however fleeting it maybe, but the mandapa which adorns the beautiful sculptures is out of bounds for devotees. The Garbhagudi could be well lit, so the devotees can properly catch a glimpse of the lord and be blessed. Since architecture is out of bounds recommend special entry for swift darshan.

Very good tour and travel service
