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

4 /5

(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.

What's Good: Bharatway Travels, advisers Mansi and Mr.Hitesh were nice and very fast in responding.They have arranged good 4 * hotels whereby in all hotels we had good breakfast.We also really (Read More)enjoyed the kathakali dance and kalari defence.Every tourist should watch the kathakali dance if going to kerala.****
What's Not Good: But unfortunately we had a bad driver name (Sredev). Because all days he comes late to pick us up.Every day we got to wait for him.We had big arguement the last 2 days of travel. A driver cannot be rude to tourist.He Promised to pick us 8.00am But coming at 9.30am with all excuses. I strongly advice all travel agents to blacklist this driver name Sredev(His picture attached) Only the Last 2 days not quite happy with the trip because of this guy.Otherwise is ok.
