Hrushikesh Chaudhari

Pune

Hrushikesh's 5 days trip to Kerala

We recently booked our Kerala trip with Pleasure India, and honestly, it was a really awesome experience. We had been exploring multiple vendors for a few days, but what really stood out was the support we received from Ms. Alia. She suggested different options, understood what we were looking for,

and helped us choose the right itinerary and stays. Her suggestions were so helpful that we decided to go ahead with Pleasure India and booked the trip on the same day. Her recommendations also helped us explore a few more places while saving around ₹8,000 to ₹10,000, which was a great plus. We also had a small issue with our room at one of the stays because we checked in late in the evening. Alia immediately stepped in, spoke with the hotel management, and helped us get the issue resolved. There are many more things I can mention, but overall, Pleasure India and especially Alia made our Kerala trip much smoother and more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Pleasure India to anyone planning a Kerala trip.

I had a very good itinerary prepared by Mr. Mukesh Chaudhary, with many discussions on the call. His right guidance made my trip very comfortable and memorable. We covered most of the points easily and we enjoyed very well. Some stays we rated 5 star, however a few stays still not that great. Overal

l experience was good. The driver was polite and on time always.

Deepak's 7 days trip to Kerala

HONEYMOON TRIP to KERALA This was the first time I booked my travel through Travel Triangle. My experience was excellent. Travel unbound is indeed a great tour operator. The itinerary was carefully thought through and well balanced. The trip represented great travel for the cost. Our booking was ea

sy, the pre-information packet was timely and thorough. Interim questions were handled promptly and thoroughly, including going out of their way to help us with some hard to get reservations. The transfers were perfect and done with well maintained sedan vehicle. Everything worked like clockwork. However, it was the genius of the itinerary, prepared with great thought and dedication by my tour operator Mamta Katoch. Special Thanks to you for making our Honeymoon Trip to Kerala a luxurious memory to cherish.

Shilajit Sengupta

Chennai

Shilajit's 5 days trip to Kerala

Very nice trip to kerala. The choice of hotels were really very nice. A 5 days kerala trip is a little hectic but overall its a beautiful destination. Cab driver was friendly and cooperative. But kerala is really vast. From one point to another takes lot of time. And also this place is costly. Some

sightseeings are overpriced. Beaumont plantation retreat - one of the best resort I've ever visited. But it would have been better if no of cottages are increased clearing up some forest area. Munnar trip was also beautiful. And last but not least the houseboat. Could have been better if a continental cuisine instead of kerala cuisine was served.

Akshay Wani

Pune

Akshay's 7 days trip to Kerala

Hotels were really good. Services of hotels were also upto the mark. Vehicle could have been better. Driver was courteous but he also took us places which were not mentioned in itinerary and chargeable and skipped many places in munnar saying closed or can't be done by this vehicle, even thought tho

se places were mentioned in itinerary. If these things are mentioned in itinerary, tourists can prepare for them well in advance. I was told by driver that real munnar can be seen only by off roading vehicle and we were stuck with jeep safari chosen by driver. We didn't know what we would miss if we opted out. I immediately tried to call agent and they tried to help but they were also not very clear what was going on the ground. Their option was that it's optional instead of clearly telling me what would I miss if I don't opt for jeep safari. Overall a great trip with good service by agent and an okay vehicle. Thanks.

Tapish Gupta

Pune

Tapish's 5 days trip to Kerala

Good arrangements done by Priyanki from Travel Unbounded. Munnar Hotel was 16km far off from city, which was a pain to travel in night. No eateries were around other than its own restaurant. Houseboat and its services were good. I had some issues on last day with cab arrangements due to route change

. But priyanki was available constantly to fix everything.

1. Standard houseboats

These are basic structures that do offer neither air conditioning nor any entertainment services. These are the best to experience a traditional stay at Kerala houseboats.

2. Deluxe Houseboats

While staying true to tradition, these types of houseboats are furnished tastefully with some modern amenities. Live in comfort as you watch the slow pace of life from the open-air living area and feel de-stressed.

3. Superior Deluxe Houseboats

24-hour air-conditioning and uniformed butlers are among the superior facilities available with these houseboats. Holidaying in these houseboats are akin to living in star-rated accommodation.

Facilities & Meals In Houseboats

The facilities are varied, depending upon the types of the houseboats. Some even have only lamps that can be lighted with oil and no power backup. The interior decor shows the dominant usage of coconut fiber ropes and bamboo, especially in the Standard houseboats. The Deluxe houseboats have a few air-conditioned bedrooms and fully equipped kitchen. The Premium houseboats have bedrooms containing double beds or two single beds and lounging areas are furnished with cozy upholstered furniture.

Tips For Kerala Houseboat Packages

Since it is not every day we go for houseboat stays, it is important that proper research and studies are done previously to make sure you know all the precautions to take.
Understanding the concept of the different types of houseboats is important so as to select one that suits your needs the best. It is also recommended that you go through reviews and experiences shared by other travelers previously.
The timings, schedule, rules and costs of houseboats should also be enquired before booking and the same should be checked from online sources.
Bring everything that you might need during your stay because there are no shops to buy last-minute requirements.
Kerala has strict laws about dressing when it comes to visiting temples so if you are planning on sightseeing onshore, pack accordingly.

One major perk of Kerala Houseboat Packages is that they can be availed by any mode of transport. The train journey is easier for people with claustrophobia and height issues, apart from being affordable. Many people love long road trips and reaching Kerala by road is an excellent opportunity for adventure lovers. There are various kinds of packages the Houseboat providers offer. Honeymoon packages, family packages, party packages, anniversary packages, birthday Packages and packages for kids are some of those. Each one specializes in activities that will enhance the vacations. To savor the flavor of a different kind of a holiday, book Kerala Houseboat Packages today and enjoy some time out of the humdrum of city life relaxing with your loved ones.
