Udisha's 6 days trip to Kochi

Hotel could have been better in thekkady. Though a very good hotel but we were given smallest room as they had full occupancy. It was extremely suffocting because we were with our child. The room had no window. We requested for room change and next day we got much better room. However for an entire day we had to survive in that small room though we paid full. Hence wud not recommend that hotel Elephant ride and elephant rain in thekkady. Also loved allepey hotel
