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.
