Swaminathan's 6 days trip to Kochi

Exotic trails (and especially Pradeesh) made the whole journey splendid, smooth and quite an enjoyable one. He was knowledgeable abt the places, had engaging conversations, very helpful and resourceful during the entire trip. He was quite flexible with timings, punctual, cooperative and adding value to the itinerary. With his knowledge and travel experience was able to drive around different routes/places and made the trip a memorable one..I would recommend exotic trails/travel triangle to my friends Toy train, thalaauveri, mandapatty peak

Sdd's 4 days trip to Kochi

we had booked for 2 nights in Thekkady and 1 night in Alleppey house boat. The arrangement by Trip Sailer was done very conveniently and the stay was very good especially in Thekkady. Only thing thing I want to highlight is the hotel was hesitating to accept the credit card and later I had to convince them with the 6% service charges for accepting the card. They wanted us to pay in cash or UPI payment. Same thing happened in House boat too. We paid cash payment there. The great thing was the transport. The driver Mr. Joseph was so helpful and became a very good friend of us when leaving.

Jagan's 5 days trip to Kochi

Houseboat kumarakom, sapphire club cherai these hotels , we had a poor experience . In houseboat you said they will give us ride of 5-6 hours but they gave us ride of only two hours . And meals were also bad . In sapphire club cherai . The bathroom pipeline was a type of chok up and the room service was very poor . You should give us more nice hotels according to 3-4 star ratings Hotel elephant route was a good experience . The room was also neat and clean . The hotel was also very near from the main point . We also enjoyed elephant safari and other activities there. The aurum resort munnar was also good experience . The room was clean and room service was also very nice . The meals were also very good
