    Vikas's 3 days trip to Kumarakom

    The resort in munnar was not at all good. The rooms and location was good but when it comes to good they serve you the left over food and don't prepare it fresh. I have a very bad experience from aranayka resort. I have recorded the videos also of their resturant incharge accepting his mistake that
    they cheated when I ordered the meals. Serene Horizon was awesome

    Sumansaurabh's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

    Everything was well organised. We booked our trip from Exotic rails and they understood my requirement carefully to plan the itenery accordingly. We were skeptical about driver so the owner himself joined throughout the drive. He explained about the history and importance of different places. It was
    a great experience. Looking forward for more .
