    Sanketparate

    Sanketparate's 7 days trip to Kumarakom

    Firstly the hotel provided by the travel agent in athirapally was not good, the rooms were not in a good condition, old furniture and very small. The driver provided by the agent was not able to communicate properly in hindi. We had a lot of issues talking to him and understanding him, Also he had q
    uarrels with other people during the trip 2-3 times. He was himself ready to show us places outside the itinerary which were known to him, may be there was commission for him. But when we asked to take us to a place other than itinerary, He said it is not in the itinerary and i cant take you there

    Abhishek's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

    I had a very good itinerary prepared by Mr. Mukesh Chaudhary, with many discussions on the call. His right guidance made my trip very comfortable and memorable. We covered most of the points easily and we enjoyed very well. Some stays we rated 5 star, however a few stays still not that great. Overal
    l experience was good. The driver was polite and on time always.

    Hrushikesh's 5 days trip to Kumarakom

    We recently booked our Kerala trip with Pleasure India, and honestly, it was a really awesome experience. We had been exploring multiple vendors for a few days, but what really stood out was the support we received from Ms. Alia. She suggested different options, understood what we were looking for,
    and helped us choose the right itinerary and stays. Her suggestions were so helpful that we decided to go ahead with Pleasure India and booked the trip on the same day. Her recommendations also helped us explore a few more places while saving around ₹8,000 to ₹10,000, which was a great plus. We also had a small issue with our room at one of the stays because we checked in late in the evening. Alia immediately stepped in, spoke with the hotel management, and helped us get the issue resolved. There are many more things I can mention, but overall, Pleasure India and especially Alia made our Kerala trip much smoother and more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Pleasure India to anyone planning a Kerala trip.

    Swapnil's 7 days trip to Kumarakom

    Great Tour Arranged by Travel Unbounded. Hotels were awesome . Special thanks to Mamta for helping me plan the tour . She coordinated very well and helped to choose the right hotels as per my requirements. One of the day there was a strike in kerala but she proactively communicated and made all the
    arrangements accordingly. Overall it was a great experience with TravelTringle & Travel Unbounded !! Just a small note, verify the room type matches with the one provided in quote and the one actually booked ( mentioned in vouchers) .
