Timings Of St Mary’s Basilica

We selected Deva Travel House for our Kerala trip from 30 th September to 4 th october.Right the planning stage till the final departure from Kochi the trip was so immaculately managed and executed that it will remain ever imprinted in my mind’s eye as bright as the blue fermament. They delivered whatever they promised and it was worth the premium that they charged.I must thank Shafy who coordinated during the entire trip and personally came to the airport to greet and meet. Our driver Siraj was a gem of a person. Extremely sober,gentle and polite. We were picked up from Kochi airport and driving through the beautiful valleys we reached our resort Rivulet. The villa was so beautiful and well located amidst the lap of Mother Nature that given an opportunity I can stay there for ever.The staff was very hospitable and caring. Next day we visited adventure kingdom where we enjoyed a lot. Later we visited Ripple tea museum and the estate manager there gave a very good understanding of how tea is processed. We then visited some dams and gardens and after overnight stay we started for Thekaddy. On the way we visited Periyar spices and Ayurvedic garden where our guide Sheba gave an excellant tour of the plantation. We then checked into our hotel Sarovar portico ( Poetree) which was too good.We then visited Periyar National park which was a bit disappointing. During the boat safari we could see only deers. No sight of tigers or elephants. But after the dismal show at Periyar national park we went for the Kalaripattu show. I must say I have never seen anything like this in my life. It is a must go for all visitors. After overnight stay we started for Alleppey which was the most awaited part of our trip. Our luxury houseboat did not disappoint us. The staff was very nice and during the cruise we got some prawns and crab from the shore which was nicely cooked and served by our chef. After spending a memorable night in the houseboat. Ext day morning we headed for Kochi. The sight seeing was disappointing and after lunch at Grand hotel we decided to spend some time in lulu mall. The mall is nicely built and houses all brands for almost all consumables. Finally we departed from Kochi to our home in Bangalore with sweet memories of the short Kerala Trip. Thanks Travel Triangle and Deva travels for facilitating the excellant trip.

My trip was very well organised by Ebrahim travels from the day I booked the trip till I landed back in Bangalore. Thanks to their ground support team for cooperation and prompt response on WhatsApp throughout my stay in Dubai. However I felt that the role of travel triangle was only till I paid their platform fee of Rs600 as they didn't even bothered to confirm if I had really travelled or not but they were very proactive in reminding me about the payment dates.

First of all, Kudos to Shalu who has arranged this trip for us. it was a wonderful trip and enjoyed a lot with my wife. Shalu has contacted us everyday to check how things are going which makes us more comfortable to enjoy the trip. Bangalore to Visakhapatnam flight got cancelled , Shalu called us immediately and guided us on next steps and finally we got tickets to visakhapatnam via chennai. This is one of the key area to say how Shalu has taken care of us. Thank you Shalu & Kushark Holidays once again..

Overall the trip was very good and well planned by the Aditya..Very comfortable and safe in the Bhutan... The Bhutan cab driver Ram was very polite and comfortable, take us to the point where we requested..he is one of the reasons the trip more memorable... West Bangalore driver are not polite and didn’t stop wherever required, sometime they didn’t respond to what we requested and they asked for additional charges.. Hotel were very nice arranged and located in the centre of the city and it’s helps us to roam around the city...few city like Punakha where A/c aren’t available in the hotel and it’s uncomfortable when the humidity is more.. Overall good place to visit. Trekking in tiger nest was awesome and it’s one of the toughest trek..the monastery was located in the cliffs and difficult to climbs...we had a good experience in trek to the nest.. River rafting in Punakha was very memorable place, the tide was moderate but enjoyed good moments in the river...

There are two things very important which is making any trips grateful the one is hotels & location and second one is cabs & drivers. In our case we got very nice cab and driver Mr. Naveen moorti and he served very good services to us and we satisfied with him during our trip also we are thankful to MS Bhargavi from VFM holidays she provided flexibility to us for shuffling our trip dates to one day and she was very polite and manageable. The only thing which we have disappointed the first one thing of hotel and location choosing skill we are not satisfied with hotels at all the places (Ooty,Mysore,Bangalore) except coorg. The banglore hotel was really worst in above all. so they should improve this thing rest of the thing are very good we really enjoyed during our vacation. Thanks VFM.

It was a well arranged trip from Bangalore to Mysore (2days and 1night) by Madurai Eco Tourism. Cab: Very neat and comfortable. Driver: Velu's driving was good. But I think he should be familiar with the routes a bit more. We couldn't visit Brindavan gardens due to raining. Instead Driver suggested Srirangapatanam. We reached there by around 3:30pm. But temple opening time was 4pm. Before entering in to the temple he told we have to leave soon as he need to go another trip at Bangalore by 7:30. Since we don't want miss visiting the temple, i told him to wait for sometime. After temple opens we suddenly finished our visit asap and get back to the cab. Before reaching our home (around 11km back) driver dropped us near a metro station, and requested us to take uber or ola from there. It was very difficult for us to manage packing our luggage suddenly to shift the cab as I was travelling with my 3year old son. But since he requested we had to agree. But he is a good driver still I recommend for such trips. Hotel: (casa meridian mysore) It is a 3star oyo hotel at Mysore arranged for night stay. But their service was very disappointed. Hotel room was ok and neat enough. But restaurant food on the 5th floor was very bad. We were offered free breakfast. It was very bad quality. They were serving same curry for all dishes. Thanks. We visited First day: St.Philomina Church, Mysore silk saree shop, Mysore palace. 2and day: Chamundi hills, Srirangapatanam Thanks

It was a nicely arranged trip from your side. I was happy with the arrangements made and the responses i was getting from your advisors particularly Himani who responded even on a day of holiday. Will definitely book next rip with you only. My next destinations are Bali,Sri Lanka, Andaman. About hotels : the friendliness shown by Hotel Fun Island resort for checking in is not there while checking out and the they are aloof from everything and adamant. I requested them to allow me to sit in the room after 12 checkout time for some time as it was very hot outside and my speedboat time was 2 :00 pm or to call speedboat by 12:30 and they expressed their inability for both. We had to sit in the open but covered lobby for two hours. They could have allowed it or in the other room where they welcome the guests.They did not helped for Wind surfing and canoeing though was mentioned in the itinerary as free and finally we did not do it.. But the rooms and the food both were very good. Even after reaching the airport for transfer to Hotel Coconut Tree they did not inform the Coconut Tree representative and we waited there for one hour for the cab on counter no. 27 as informed by you.. The system was the Fun Island people to inform the airport representative of Coconut Tree which was not followed. Finally I called the hotel from the Helpdesk at the airport and then cab was arranged . The Hotel Coconut tree seems to be a Transit Hotel as they do not have proper arrangements for food or breakfast. The breakfast is arranged at other hotel at the side and there was only bread and omelette for breakfast. Even for food I was not informed that the bill has to be below 12 USD per head and above it we have to pay which is ridiculous. Even arrangements were for one dinner and breakfast only and not for afternoon lunch which could have been avoided. But the approach and other things at the small hotel were excellent and two three times they mentioned about the inconvenience caused due to cab issue. On there own they asked us for sightseeing in Maldives and arranged at a discount to us. Also for this tour let the customers know that they can check in the luggage upto Maldives but the immigration things are to be done either at Cochi or Bangalore. For return trip the checkin is upto Cochi or Bangalore and one need to take luggage at these points including immigration for onward journey. Even though these issues were there I am happy with your arrangements. Regards, Gangawane
