    · January 17th, 2026
    I enjoyed my time in Kerala on this 8 day tour. It was a great way to get a taste of some of the beautiful places. Would have liked more time in Munnar, but all other stops were perfect. I would recommend making an earlier start that day to get to Munnar earlier and have a few more hours. Accommodation exceeded my expectations with the exception of Tea Castle in Munnar, which I wouldnt recommend. On my final night my 11am flight the next day was cancelled and got changed to a 6am flight, and my driver was so good and came back at 1:30am to get me back to Kochi airport. Communication before tour was very good.
