    Superb Experience with Namaskaram Travels. We visited Munnar/ Kochi through them and would recommend my other South Indian trips through them. Thanks Neha for so responsive, I think most of the other agents of TT fails. Superb negotiations by Neha(agent)

    Udisha Singh

    Ahmedabad

    Udisha's 6 days trip to Kumarakom

    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
