Kochi heritage streets were so good in history, and the Kathakali show was worth it. Munnar's tea gardens were a unique charm.

We enjoy the Kerala culture and history. Munnar hills were the most photogenic spot. The hotel was surrounded by trees and very peaceful. The driver drove carefully through the hills. Periyar was fun we liked the spice farm and tried local snacks. Alleppey houseboat experience was the best part. Kovalam was more lively with plenty of local eateries. The entire tour ran smoothly, and the hotels were satisfactory. Great trip for South India part.Show more

This trip of Kerala was amazing escape. Kochi heritage streets were so good in history, and the Kathakali show was worth it. Munnar’s tea gardens were a unique charm. The driver was polite and punctual throughout, which helped a lot on hilly roads. Periyar’s spice plantation visit was unique. The Alleppey houseboat was a highlight basic but unforgettable. Kovalam beach was relaxing, with decent seaside accommodation. Overall, great Kerala trip.Show more
