The only downside of the entire trip for which I have given only 3 stars for the hotels is that Seven Springs Plantation resort at Munnar was a big let down. Definitely not worth its price.

Hi Swati, Thank you very much for planning and executing the trip which was suitable for my family of elders. From the day the trip started, Swati was in touch with my family, I lost contact with them but Swati remained connected through the cab driver assigned. It was special of her to take the extra step to ensure their safety. There were unexpected turn of events during the trip which was also handled by swati without my intervention. I was not sure about booking a tailored trip online, but Swati made it glitch free and seamless. Thank ...

Overall the tour gone well. We enjoyed a lot. We missed some places due to rain. Hotels and houseboat are good except in munnar. Experience in houseboat was the best. The cab driver was very good. Everywhere services offered by hotels, cab and houseboat are very good and pritika was always in touch with us to provide the best. Thanks to travel triangle. The best memories was the evening in houseboat. We enjoyed a lot

It was a nice trip and we have enjoyed our holiday trip. The trip to Munnar and Alleppey houseboat was more fascinating except the food provided in Munnar was not much satisfactory. I understand that we shouldn't expect home food but still can be maintained in a much better way. Last but not the least, we have loads and loads of happy and the best moments in the houseboat and Munnar trip.
