    Arati's 6 days trip to Thekkady

    Our trip started beautifully with great hotels in Munnar and Thekkady, but the houseboat experience in Alleppey was a total disaster. The boat looked nothing like the pictures which shared during trip booking—it was small, poorly maintained, and had an unsanitary kitchen. The biggest issue was the s
    taff; the driver was drunk which is unacceptable and dangerous.

    Ssachdeva's 6 days trip to Thekkady

    We enjoyed our trip to Kerala. Hotels particularly at Munnar (Winter note) was superb. Driver Srineevas was very cooperative, down to earth, fully knowledge person to take all the members of the group directly to North Indian food restaurants and enjoyed the food. He was very patient, friendly and a
    lways give respect to his tourists. My travel company Travel Inbound, Bangalore manager, Ms. Mamataji, Shri Sanjiv Katoch ji was always approachable to extend their full help and feel us very important and guided us on every step and offered their best knowledge to finalise the best hotels where all my senior citizen members enjoyed the stay. Really memorable travel plan prepared by them. Recommended to avail their services. Winter Note at Munnar having a balcony which opened towards Forest side where I enjoyed chirping of birds which is still in my ears and memory. Travel unbound will be the only company to book other travel plans. Visit to Pariyar lake, hotel Winternote having forest balcony with chirping of birds was fabulous.

    Overall a good experience and a memorable trip. The hotel in Munnar was not as promised and caused a lot of inconvenience however the later accommodations were good. The driver was skilled and friendly. Travel agent was helpful in providing good options and provided us with best deals without compro
    mising quality keeping in mind our toddler. The house boat trip and the elephant safari was the highlight of our trip. Our toddler loved the experience too.
