    Jyoti's 7 days trip to Munnar

    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!

    Our Kerala trip was nicely arranged through Travel Triangle via Comfort Travel Agency. The itinerary and pricing provided were competitive. The travel executive, Sameer, was also available on call whenever guidance was needed, which we truly appreciated. However, a few promised add-ons were not ful
    filled as committed — specifically the arrangements for Kathakali, Kalaripayattu tickets, and the Munnar photoshoot. We had to manage these ourselves and pay from our own pocket. While the amount for Kathakali and Kalaripayattu was eventually reimbursed after multiple follow-ups, the photoshoot expense was not reimbursed. It would be better if such add-ons are either fulfilled as promised or the relevant refunds are processed promptly on the first follow-up. Multiple follow-ups affect the overall experience and mood of an otherwise well-planned trip.

    FAQ's of Munnar

    Read on to find out why our customers love us!

    What is Kathakali?

    Kathakali is an ancient and traditional dance form of Kerala, using elaborate make-ups, costumes, masks and set-ups. Kathakali originated in the 17th century and has its roots in Hindu mythology.

    Where can a visitor watch a Kathakali show in Munnar?

    The Punarjani cultural village in Munnar is the place to catch a Kathakali show. They perform daily from 5 to 6 PM. They also perform the traditional Kalarippayattu martial art show from 6 to 7 PM.

    Where does Kathakali dance come from?

    Although its actual origin is unclear, however, this dance form emerged from coastal regions in South India during the 17th century. The popular belief is that Kathakali has emerged from "Krishananattam", a dance drama on the life and activities of Lord Krishna. It is a combination of dramatic make-up, facial expressions, mudras and soothing music.
