The driver cum guide Mr Rajesh was very knowledgeable and friendly, the hotels were excellent and the food was delicious and authentic. I especially enjoyed the houseboat cruise in the backwaters of Kerala, which was a relaxing and a unique scenic experience and very engaging at times with the way backwater life people lead out there.
