    Sreeneesreenee's 3 days trip to Kumarakom

    My travel agent was jaunt holidays. Stay at Munnar was excellent at princess de munnar. But stay at hotel pagoda was a worst experience with no good ambience, careless response from room service and worst food. Response of travel agent was excellent. I need not worry and from the time getting down a
    t Rly station till return back to station everything was arranged perfectly. Except accomodation at pagoda for one day, the entire trip was smooth and pleasant.
