Boat riding at kovalam was nice. The visit was amazing. The hotels were good. I (Read More)think the new Delhi arrangement was good but only the local agent was very disappointing.
There were iternary booked on Monday but that places are closed on Mondays. Unab (Read More)le to go to periyar sanctuary park bcoz ticket were sold out 1 month back but it was in the iternary. Kanyakumari ticket had a 4 hours queue but we don't know we can book one day earlier on online. Jadayu cable car broke down. All this happen for to miscommunication and lack of information. The tempo traveller broke down for 4 hours on the was to thekaddy and all the program were delayed. The TT driver attitude was terrible, can't speak to him as he shouts for everything. Not helpful at all, drop us far away and make us walk. Need improve in all this area. Local agent didn't look into details.
