      This is my 2nd holiday booking with Travel Triangle and my trust in them has also increased 2x now. Everything was flawless right from suggestions, to bookings, to actual holiday experience. More power to the Travel Tringle team for providing the best always. Special mention of Anubhav from Namaskar
      am travels for being patient and for accomodating all our requests. Breathtaking view of the Munnar Valley from hotel room at Tea Village, Munnar; Sighting Nilgiri Tahr from a very close distance at the Eravikualm National Park; photo sessions at the 2nd mile photo point and tea estates; boat ride at the Vembanad lake (Kumarakom backwaters); Elephant ride and Kathakali show at Thekaddy, amazing local cuisine especially sea food and plenty of photographs. Kerala trip has been amazing for us, better than what we imagined. Thank you team Travel Triangle :)

      Avinash's 5 days trip to Varkala

      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.

      Chetan's 4 days trip to Varkala

      Five-Star Experience in God's Own Country: Munnar & Alappuzha Tour Overall Rating: 5/5 (Highly Recommended!) Werecently concluded a phenomenal 3-night, 4-day trip covering the stunning hill station of Munnar and the tranquil backwaters of Alappuzha (Alleppey), arranged through Namaskaram Travels.
      The entire experience, from initial planning to final drop-off, was seamless, professional, and truly unforgettable. This package delivered the perfect blend of misty mountains and serene waters, and we can’t thank the team enough. Agent Excellence: Vineet (Namaskaram Travels) A huge shout-out must go to our travel agent, Vineet. His professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the entire booking process completely stress-free. Vineet expertly tailored the 4-day itinerary to maximize our time, ensuring comfortable travel and excellent accommodations in both locations. He was always responsive to our queries and ensured all logistics—from hotel check-ins to the houseboat boarding—were handled flawlessly. It felt great knowing we had such a reliable point of contact throughout the journey. Our Wonderful Driver: Subin Our driver, Subin, was truly the backbone of this trip. The drives between Kochi, Munnar, and Alappuzha are long, but Subin’s careful, safe driving and punctuality made every journey pleasant. He was extremely friendly, professional, and had superb local knowledge, pointing out hidden waterfalls, interesting spice plantations, and the best local spots for tea breaks. Subin's service went above and beyond; he was a reliable guide and a genuinely pleasant person to spend four days with. Trip Highlights Munnar (2 Nights) The rolling tea estates of Munnar are breathtaking. Our itinerary covered key spots like the scenic Mattupetty Dam, the fun echo phenomenon at Echo Point, and the unforgettable views from the top of the hills. The drive up, featuring stops and Valara waterfalls, set the perfect tone for the mountain stay. Alappuzha (1 Night Houseboat Cruise) The overnight stay on the traditional Keralite houseboat was magical and easily the highlight of the trip. Cruising through the narrow canals, witnessing village life, and watching the sunset over the backwaters was a truly unique experience. The traditional Keralite food served on the boat was delicious, and the staff was very attentive. In summary, if you are planning a trip to Kerala, we wholeheartedly recommend Namaskaram Travels. Ask for Vineet for the planning and Subin for the driving—they are a fantastic team! Date of Travel: October 2025 Package: 3 Nights / 4 Days Munnar & Alappuzha
