Chitra's 3 days trip to Wayanad

We recently booked a 2-day trip to Alleppey through Namaskaram Travels via travel triangle , and the entire experience was excellent. They handled all the arrangements, including hotel bookings and the cab service, making our trip completely hassle-free. The hotel stay was very comfortable — the rooms were clean, well-maintained, and the hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It really made our stay relaxing and pleasant. Special mention to the cab driver arranged by Namaskaram Travels — he was very friendly, professional, and took great care of us throughout the trip. He also suggested good places to visit and eat, making our Alleppey experience even better. Overall, we had a wonderful and smooth trip thanks to Namaskaram Travels. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone planning a visit to Alleppey!
