    We had a trip to kerala with Namaskaram travels.from starting to end their representative is with us in regular contact. Hotels options are good but main thing I love about them is support of driver cum guider Mr.kartik. He is a single handed warrior who can support you any time any situation. He is
    very kind person. He will mix with you like a family member. Thank you Namaskaram travels and Mr.karthik.

    I just returned from a solo trip to Kerala, where I visited Kochi and Vagamon, and it was an incredible experience! My driver, Anthony, was absolutely lovely and made the journey truly memorable; his friendly demeanor and local knowledge added so much to my adventure. I genuinely believe that withou

I also want to extend my gratitude to Priya from Travel Triangle, who provided me with excellent advice and crafted an amazing itinerary that perfectly suited my interests. Overall, this trip was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Kerala.

    The cab driver Ajmal was a very good person. On time pick up drops sightseeing. The boat house was a disaster the boat drove just for 3 hrs and then you are on your own. Paid for the honeymoon inclusion but just got a bed of tarnish roses. Namaskaram travels didn't even bother to ask me even a singl

    Syed's 4 days trip to Kerala

    The hotels and candle light dinner was awesome. The arrangements food cleanliness of the hotels was exceptional. I didn't took the cab service as I opted for self drive car. The only sad part was I had book the tickets from your agent and the return flight got delayed by 4hrs and he didn't inform me
    as he gave his email and mobile number to the airlines. I had to struggle with my 6months infant at the airport. Giving four stars just because of not informing the delay of my return flight. Candle light dinner
