Last day we got bad experience. Our train from ernakulam to Bangalore was at 2.2 (Read More)0pm. He brought us at 11.30 and told that take all your luggages from the vehicle and go to train. We told that keep all the luggages in the vehicle and we will take after returning from market. He has not accepted. We suffered like this, as we don't know anything in the new place. When it is 7 days trip, till evening vehicle shall be with us.
On 08.03.2026, he left us at 3.30 pm at the hotel. In the evening we went to haw (Read More)a beach in a auto. As per schedule padmanabha temple visit was on 8.03.26, but he did not take us. On 09.03.2026 he took to the temple, which took lot of time and reduced our boat house experience.
Food & hospitality was very good at manner. It was average at thekkady and samudra Teeram hotel.food was good at boathouse, but water provided is very bad. We could not take bath at house boat.
