We are from Delhi and every time my husband and I planned to go on a trip, we would end up exploring only the north of India. So this time we thought of taking a break and going on a vacation, we were sure that we wanted to see some other part of the country. We wanted to have a peaceful vacation amidst hills and the best of nature. Moreover, the two of us have been wanting to have an experience of a houseboat, hence we decided upon Kerala. We got in touch with the TravelTriangle team who prepared a great itinerary of 5 days in Kerala which was as per our needs and requirements.
