Anup's 5 days trip to Kerala

The Elephant Route hotel present in Thekkady is not a good option, room was good but the things present in the room were not good, like shower, WiFi. Also the driver is not suggesting us which place we can go or at what time we should leave the place to reach on another place. Overall Ok experience, it could be much more better.

Like a responsible travel partner Biju was in touch with us on a daily basis throughout the trip and he took the correct decisions for us in terms of reschedule some itinerary basis the situation there due to pre monsoon and made our trip a success. We could cover everything that was planned with absolute ease. Special mention to our driver Vishnu who was gem of a person.

Looking forward to many more vacations with you.
