Amazing Kerala Trip with 7C Destination My wife and I booked a 6 nights / 7 d (Read More)ays Kerala package through 7C Destination, covering Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, and Kovalam. Initially, I was a bit nervous since this travel agency was new to us, but the entire trip turned out to be wonderful and truly memorable. Munnar: We stayed for two nights at Aranyaka Resort, which had an excellent location, beautiful views, great room quality, and delicious breakfast. Staying in such a serene place among the tea gardens of Munnar was an amazing experience. Thekkady: Here we stayed for one night and visited the Periyar Tiger Reserve and watched a Kathakali performance. Both were unique and memorable cultural experiences. Alleppey: This was the highlight of our trip – staying overnight on a houseboat. The boat crew arranged a lovely candlelight dinner for us, which was truly special. The food was tasty, and spending the night on the water felt magical. Kovalam: We stayed two nights at The Neelakanta Resort, located right on Kovalam beach. The location and sea view were fantastic. However, the room felt a bit small, the chairs were old, and vegetarian food options were limited. Still, the beachside location made it worth it. Travel & Support: Throughout the trip, we were accompanied by Anil, our driver, who was polite, punctual, and very helpful, making our journey comfortable. A Special Thanks: I’d like to thank Kirti from 7C Destination, who helped plan this package. It turned out to be affordable, well-managed, and truly memorable for both of us. What started as a trip with some hesitation became an experience we’ll always cherish. If you’re planning to explore Kerala, I’d say 6N/7D is enough to see the major highlights comfortably, and you can trust 7C Destination to deliver a well-curated experience.

I'm delighted to share my exceptional experience with Welgreen Kerala Holidays, (Read More)expertly managed by Mr. George. Our customized tour package exceeded our expectations, blending comfort and memorable experiences. Hotel selections were impressive: Hotel Sea View at Kanyakumari offered breathtaking sunrise views and delicious food. Hotel Germanus in Madurai, Hotel Soma Palmshore in Kovalam, and Hotel Taika in Rameshwaram provided pleasant stays with good food and courteous staff. The houseboat experience was outstanding, with mouth-watering local cuisine, including an unforgettable fish fry. However, hot water for bathing was not available. Some valuable tips for future travelers: verify temple timings and dress code regulations in advance to optimize your itinerary. Ladies can find lovely, affordable sarees and dress materials. Engaging local drivers or guides can also enhance your experience. Mr. George and Welgreen Kerala Holidays deserve 100% marks for crafting an unforgettable trip with thoughtful hotel choices and a well-planned itinerary.

However, hot water for bathing was not available and no more activities at the shore. Rather we would have preferred to stay in a hotel and take long ride of houseboat in the afternoon to late evening would have better.

Every part of travel good. The approach road to hotel Vagamon Vagashore at Vagamon and room service at Thekkady hotel named Kumly gate were poor .
