I recently organized a family trip with my elderly parents and sought the help of Welgreen Kerala Holidays. Mr. George from Welgreen was extremely helpful in planning a 3N-4D package that covered Kany (Read More)akumari, Kovalam, Varkala, and Trivandrum. The package was not only budget-friendly but also offered excellent value for money. After conducting thorough research and speaking with several travel operators, Welgreen provided the best deal within my budget, which included accommodation, sightseeing, vehicle expenses (fuel charges, tolls, parking, driver allowances, etc.), welcome drinks, and daily breakfasts. We only had to cover lunch, dinner, and any applicable entry fees.
The journey to the southern tip of India was smooth, relaxing, and refreshing, with stunning views of the Western Ghats, paddy fields, and lush coconut and palm trees. The hotels included in the package were all 4-star properties with incredible sea views, though there were also more affordable 3-star options. The Azhimala Shiva Temple, located by the Arabian Sea near Vizhinjam (Thiruvananthapuram district), was a spiritual highlight. In Kanyakumari, we enjoyed magnificent views of the Vivekananda Rock and the sunrise from our hotel room. The confluence of the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean, and Arabian Sea, along with the chance to stand on Vivekananda Rock, the breathtaking sunset views, and the panoramic view from the top of Shri Tirupathi Temple in Kanyakumari, were unforgettable experiences. Kovalam was a serene place with coconut trees, beaches, and mountains meeting the sea, while Varkala offered its own natural beauty with cliff beaches and stunning vistas. The buffet breakfasts gave us a chance to indulge in authentic South Indian cuisine, though there were also North Indian and continental options available.
Our driver, Mr. Abhilash (also known as Mr. Sugathan), was a true gem. His respectful and caring nature, especially towards my father, who suffers from arthritis and osteoporosis, was deeply appreciated. His attentiveness made the trip even more memorable. Overall, the entire tour was an enjoyable and unforgettable experience, and we look forward to returning for another trip to explore more of Kerala.
