(Written on 13 Aug, 2025)

What's Good: Driver is too good. 7C Destinations' team has arranged Jain Food for us everywhere in advance. Hotel is upgraded by the team for us in thekkady is really very thankful from us.
(Read More)What's Not Good: Hotel at Alleppey and at Ernakulam committed places are not visited so we have to spend 3 to 4 hours on railway station. At Thekkady we can't visit Periyar National Park due to red alert of water level but we don't given any another option there. So only plan given once in the day but communication gap found with us during itinerary by team.

Sumit's Trip to Munnar, Kochi (Cochin), Alappuzha (Alleppey), Thekkady, Kerala

(Written on 26 Jul, 2025)

What's Good: I recently traveled to Kerala with 7C Destinations and had a mostly pleasant experience. The itinerary covered some of the best locations like Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, and Varka (Read More)la, and the hotels arranged in each place were comfortable and well-located. Our driver was a true highlight – very cooperative and friendly, which made our journey smooth and enjoyable.
What's Not Good: However, the food on the Alleppey houseboat was a major letdown, especially for vegetarians. It was quite disappointing and definitely needs improvement for future guests with dietary preferences. Overall, a well-organized trip with a few areas for improvement. Thank you, 7C Destinations, for a memorable Kerala tour!

What's Good: Amazing Kerala Trip with 7C Destination My wife and I booked a 6 nights / 7 days Kerala package through 7C Destination, covering Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, and Kovalam. Initial (Read More)ly, 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.
