    Manojmurthy's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

    Everything was fine and good. One thing I would like to say is it would be nice when you send the cab driver who knows the language of the customer. P.S. The cab driver you sent was good. If you have sent the driver who knows Tamil it would be well and good

    Abinashsrivastava's 5 days trip to Kumarakom

    Trip was nice but it was not prepared properly. When we reached Madurai at 3 am we booked a hotel with the help of driver for 4 hrs because the check in time of the hotel booked by travel Kutir was at 12pm. We visited Meenakshi temple ,Jyotirlinga Rameshwaram, Padmanabhan Swamy temple ,Kanyakumari
    temple and many places in this trip without facing any major problem.

    Jaipur

    Vishal's 8 days trip to Kumarakom

    Overall travel experience was good. We booked with Shri Anandpur Travels and the executive there Ms. Rekha Verma helped a lot and explained eveything but there was no call from travel triangle at any time. The travel agent called 2-3 times during the trip to ask for any inconvenience. Travel triang
    le charged 300 per person but the service was just to connect to vendors. Neither they helped in payment nor explaining any terms.

    Jaipra's 7 days trip to Kumarakom

    Kerela Trip for 7days & 6 nights in Sept,24. Well managed trip. Very supportive response from Driver Sahal and Soni from Kerela Expedition. Soni was always availble to support us and clearing all doubts from day 1 to till the end of the trip. This was our 1st trip managed/package offered by Kerela E
    xpedition (Soni) and we were delighted to get the level of support from Soni & Driver Sahal. Deshashan Hotel was very good in Varkala and also their room service. Neelkanta hotel at Kovalam beach was also good but we were expecting bigger room than what was provided to us. Food was good. The only negative thing on this trip was that we could not enjoy Varkala Beach water activity as it was closed and we were not able to explore Varkala.
