    Jyoti's 7 days trip to Kumarakom

    I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Kerala with my family of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) through Namaskaram Travels, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! We spent 8 days exploring the beautiful destinations of Munnar, Alleppey, Varkala, and Kovalam, and every aspect of our trip was met
    iculously planned and executed by Mr. Vineet (Namaskaram Travels). I was worried about traveling with 2 young kids (4 & 1.8Yrs) and elderly parents (65 & 62 Yrs), but Namaskaram Travels (Mr. Vineet) made it a breeze We were lucky to have Mr. Karthik as our driver/guide for 8 days. He's one of the best I've met - humble, polite, and with a great personality! A true Munnar local. The accommodation was top-notch, the transportation was very comfortable, and the activities/sightseeings were enjoyable for both kids and adults. Mr. Vineet at Namaskaram Travels was super responsive, helpful, and flexible, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the trip. Their local knowledge and expertise really shone through, and we got to experience the best of Kerala's natural beauty and culture. We Highly recommend Namaskaram Travels for anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable family vacation! 5/5 stars!
