      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) .

      Shilajit's 5 days trip to Varkala

      Very nice trip to kerala. The choice of hotels were really very nice. A 5 days kerala trip is a little hectic but overall its a beautiful destination. Cab driver was friendly and cooperative. But kerala is really vast. From one point to another takes lot of time. And also this place is costly. Some
      sightseeings are overpriced. Beaumont plantation retreat - one of the best resort I've ever visited. But it would have been better if no of cottages are increased clearing up some forest area. Munnar trip was also beautiful. And last but not least the houseboat. Could have been better if a continental cuisine instead of kerala cuisine was served.
