    Md's 4 days trip to Vagamon

    Review of Our Kerala Trip with Travel Triangle & Wonder Sky Travels We recently completed a 4-day family trip to Munnar and Alleppey, Kerala, which was beautifully arranged by Travel Triangle in collaboration with Wonder Sky Travels. A special thanks to Ms. Divya , Ms. Radhika, Mr. Sandeep from Wo
    nder Sky Travels for their excellent coordination throughout the trip. They ensured everything went smoothly without any inconvenience. The hotel booked for us — The View Munnar — truly lived up to its name, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful stay. The houseboat experience in Alleppey was another highlight — a perfect place to relax and enjoy quality time with family and friends& Mararikulam Beach in Allpuzha. We would also like to appreciate our cab driver, Mr. Prajith, who made our journey even more delightful. He was very friendly, punctual, and jovial, and his driving skills were excellent. Overall, our Kerala trip organized by Travel Triangle and Wonder Sky Travels was a wonderful and memorable experience. We truly appreciate their efforts and would definitely recommend their services to others.

    Dhruv's 7 days trip to Vagamon

    Had a great experience and very good trip. Everything booked and planned as per the final itinerary. Our drive was very good and humble but Kerala being a more of wild natural place so he could have been more adventurous. Saying this bcos we wanted to go to Top Station in munaar to see sunset or su
    nrise and hotel staff and other drivers suggested that it’s very safe route but our driver told it’s dangerous bcos of elephant presence on the route and he won’t go and so we have to drop that location. Also driver should be more enthusiastic and suggest good shopping (spices etc) and other hidden gems rather he was more interested in taking us to shopping and activities where I think the commission was arranged. But other than this he covered all the places in itinerary and was very polite through out the trip. Had a great trip and lot of memories.
