Lake Tekapo Holiday Packages

Lake Tekapo

The town, Lake Tekapo (the name is similar to the lake) is on the southern tip of the lake, and has some of the most splendid and sweeping views imaginable. The lake is present in Mackenzie District on the southern island of New Zealand.
A turquoise lake amid the snow-clad mountains, Lake Tekapo sparkles beneath the blue sky. It is often a magical experience to see a line-up of mountains reflecting on its waters. Its rock floor is a specialty as the glaciers roll down grinding the rock particles and depositing them on the lake’s floor.

The splendid view of the lake and skiing opportunities on the mountains is worth the visit if you book Lake Tekapo packages. Therefore, often tourists who are traveling from Christchurch to Mount Cook make it a base station on the route.

How To Reach

By Road

Several bus services that travel to Tekapo are available from Christchurch Airport, Queenstown or Wanaka and Christchurch. It is a three hours journey from Christchurch airport to Lake Tekapo. The distance for a road trip is 1200 km.

By Air

The nearest airport to reach Lake Tekapo is Christchurch airport. If you are traveling from the cities of Australia or other countries, you can fly to Christchurch airport.

By Train

You can also take a train if you are traveling from Rangiora to reach Lake Tekapo. However, there are obvious disadvantages as the trains run once every day on this route and the time duration is longer than by road, that is a little more than 4 hours.

Best Time To Visit

Lake Tekapo during winter months (mid-November to late December)

You can visit Lake Tekapo in the winter months when the icy-blue water projects a strikingly different image compared to the snow-capped mountains. It is when the nearby ski fields remain busy and you can be a part of thrilling adventures down the snowy terrain.

The place as a part of Lake Tekapo packages offers many snow activities and you can have good fun out there. However, in case you are there for a relaxing trip, viewing the perfect natural and scenic beauty can keep you occupied as well.

Lake Tekapo during summers

If you have to consider the aesthetics of the place, then summers are no less. The summers enliven the lake, as the wildflowers add to the beauty. You can have a swim in the pristine lake. These aspects make it a perfect visit even for the summer holidays.

Tekapo has many summer activities for its visitors, so you can also look out for a trip during the summer holidays.

Amrish's 4 days trip to Kerala

Travel Unbounded managed whole trip seamlessly. Mamta ma'am who arrange all itinerary and places for the trip was great. Cab driver Riyas also help us to explore the places very nicely. We took lots of memories from all the places. Hotel misty lake is also nice place to stay. Aminities in resort are
enough to enjoy the place. Full of big trees experience us as we are staying in jungle resort.

Dimpu's 4 days trip to Kerala

We had a pleasant trip to Kerala which I booked through travel unbounded and travel triangle. Travel agent mamata responded very well to my queries.Resorts provided were very good and hygenic. Driver cum guide provided to us would have been more better who have better understanding of the local plac
es and culture. Kayaking(our first time experience) in kundala lake, munnar was the best memory for us in munnar. Balcony View and ambience of the Tea village,munnar and Kondai Lip, allepey resorts were too good.

Sskavya's 6 days trip to Kerala

Great Experience with Travel triangles & travel unbound. one of customer service agent Mamta. She helped a lot to get the best deal. I found very easy the way she gave me all information for booking my flight & destination details. It’s very friendly and easy to use. However, I have few concerns wit
h the Driver who accommodated for entire trip. The driver didn’t gave much information on which place we are going based on the itinerary. Day 1: Cochin to Munnar was smooth journey. Day2: Munnar day trip – Driver didn’t take us to Ernakulam National Park as he suggested it would be too crowded, Kundale Lake he conveyed to us that we cannot go there in his car, and we need to take local Jeep service who charged very high . Day3: Munnar-Thekkady-We missed Spice plantation visit. Day4: Thekkady-Alleppey- Driver didn’t gave any information on local places except Houseboat. Day5: Alleppey to Kovalam The stay provided in kovalam is not upto the mark it looks like a very old building and they didnt even provided a kettle in the room. They only provided basic things line towels and some sanitary things. The driver didn’t have any information on local places and when we asked him to take us to a local restaurant for dinner, he refused it as its post 7PM. Day6: Trip to Kanyakumari This day is what we planned personally so he just dropped us at Kanyakumari temple and picked after we finished dharshanam. Day7: Trivandrum City tour The driver dropped us at temple for dharshanam and after dharshanm he suggested us to visit Zoo and dropped us there and picked us around 3.30Pm and we have asked him to suggested some other places to visit locally but he is not ready to take us anywhere and he insisted us to reach airport after the zoo visit as he has some other booking by 4.30 and he dropped us airport by 4PM as it’s a week trip we have heavy luggage we didn’t have any option to go anywhere locally. Overall, the Driver is not so communicative about the places and most importantly he is not communicating in English . Car seat doesn't support any pushback and it's not very comfortable for the people who sits in front seat and driver will not increase the ac even if it's too hot. The resort provided in Alleppey is highlite of the trip and Tekkedey elephant ride, kathakali and Kalari shows are must visit. House boat is good experience . Munnar rides are awesome the rose garden we visited in munnar gave a Beautiful eye feast though its a hot summer .

Mcgregornick's 4 days trip to Kerala

Our 4 day tour of Kerala was pretty good. The tour is very prepackaged with the driver taking you to the sites he thinks you’ll want to see (the same ones everyone else is sent to see) so it doesn’t suit individuals looking to get off the beaten track. For example, we stopped at the same waterfalls
as everyone else, went to the same tea museum and national park as everyone else and were scheduled to go to the same dam as everyone else (we opted out). There is no asking you what you want to do or getting to know your preferences; you are treated as just another uneducated tourist to fleece. Our driver was courteous but initially used his phone a lot while driving (videos, talking and texting) but stopped after I asked him to. Our private Alleppey houseboat was clean and beautiful but the cruising part itself was disappointing. We were only underway for a total of 3 hours out of our 20+ hours on board, meaning we were docked for 15 hours, tied up to shore. You get dropped off at the boat, cruise for 30 minutes to a small shop downriver, get the hard sell on some prawns (2000 rupees a kilo), cruise for 30 more minutes, tie up at shore, eat lunch (very tasty), crew naps, after 1.5 hours stopped, you start to cruise onto the main body of the lake, cruise for 2 hours in what is ultimately a loop and return to the exact place you boarded the boat. You tie up and sit there until 9 am the next morning, despite our itinerary clearly saying we were to cruise from 8-9 am. The boat is cool but, again, you feel like you’re getting cheated out of the 5 hours of cruising you are promised. Also, when you see 50 other boats right next to you doing the exact same thing, it takes away from the experience. Being docked on shore for the vast majority of the trip, you wonder what’s the point of getting a houseboat? Hotels in the area are much cheaper and with a day cruise, you would get to see the same things we saw. The company rep did not often respond to my messages during the trip, instead choosing to ignore rather than help solve issues. Overall, Travel unbounded isn’t bad but they aren’t great either; you leave with a lackluster vacation experience.

Ssachdeva's 6 days trip to Kerala

We enjoyed our trip to Kerala. Hotels particularly at Munnar (Winter note) was superb. Driver Srineevas was very cooperative, down to earth, fully knowledge person to take all the members of the group directly to North Indian food restaurants and enjoyed the food. He was very patient, friendly and a
lways give respect to his tourists. My travel company Travel Inbound, Bangalore manager, Ms. Mamataji, Shri Sanjiv Katoch ji was always approachable to extend their full help and feel us very important and guided us on every step and offered their best knowledge to finalise the best hotels where all my senior citizen members enjoyed the stay. Really memorable travel plan prepared by them. Recommended to avail their services. Winter Note at Munnar having a balcony which opened towards Forest side where I enjoyed chirping of birds which is still in my ears and memory. Travel unbound will be the only company to book other travel plans. Visit to Pariyar lake, hotel Winternote having forest balcony with chirping of birds was fabulous.

Suresh's 7 days trip to Ladakh

Leh Ladakh is beautiful and perfect place for summer vacations. We had 6N and 7D trip and complete itinerary was planned by Trip Trial/ Travel Triangle. We reached at Leh from Hyderabad on 28th May and left on 3rd June, 2022 in a group of 4 persons. We spend first 2nightsat Leh, 2nights at Nubra val
ley, one night at Pangong Lake and last night again at Leh. During entire trip we haven't face any problem. The journey was well architect and scheduled. The hotels were upto our expections. We had very comfort stay n good food at Hotels. One extra mattresses, breakfast and dinner were included in our package. We enjoyed ice/snow at khardungla pass during onwards and again at Changala pass during return from Pangong Lake. It is life time memorable event of doing rafting at Shyok River at Nubra valley. We enjoyed camel riding, ATV drive, beautiful Sand dunes and world longest Zip lining at Hunter/Nubra valley. The visit of Turtuk, Thang villages and Indo-Pak LOC is always memorable. We spend beautiful evening at Pangong lake and stayed wooden cottage. The drivers drove slow and safely. During entire stay he was a local guide for us. He covered all the site seeing points and explained their importance nicely during the trip. We are very much satisfied with Mr. Yugal Senani, a trip advisor. He was always available on call as and when required. He hasn't missed any of our call unattended. We got excellent service and support from Mr. Yugal and the we developed good repo a faith on each other that will certainly help us for coming trips. At last we had very good, safe and memorable trip. Thanks to Mr. Yugal, Lobsang and entire team of trip trial/ trip triangle. We will see you next time for further trips.

Hitesh's 6 days trip to Ladakh

Leh-Ladakh is always in our bucket list and finally we did it. We have booked our trip with TripTrail and yugal is also cooperative and following up in our overall journey. Hotels are good, staff behaviour is nice, rooms are clean and cosy enough to stay, and food is also ok. We stayed at Leh, Nu
bra and near pangong lake, itinerary sounds perfect for our trip as per 6 days and 5 night. Luckily, we had seen the snowfall that makes our trip more memorable and added some more adventurous and extreme experience in our trip.Driver is also good and driving in a very attentive manner. Overall experience is good and we will also look forward to book a trip with TripTrail in future.

Vinod's 6 days trip to Ladakh

This one was a decision taken in haste but it only got better! It was my daughter's birthday so we were thinking of celebrating it offsite and decided to go to leh and Ladakh which we were planning for quite a while but didn't know where to start so randomly booked the air tickets with absolutely
no plan in mind. And then we came across with Yugul, from Travel Triangle at just the right time. From our itinerary to our accomodation and food all was taken care of by then. There were places they suggested and we approved, all well within our budget. No hiccups whatsoever in the trip. Although a few of us gave in to the altitude sickness but luckily we were prepared. All safe and sound, had the best scenery, sites, and rides starting from Leh > Kargil - Drass > Nubra Valley > Pangong > back to Leh. Missed Tuktuk though, was a bit tight schedule owing to long drives and lots of travel. All in all it was a 7 day trip from Delhi. And no complaints with any services we required. Quite satisfied with the planning and execution from the company and of course, we had Yugul all the time available for any assistance we might have needed him to address. Needless to mention name of Mr Stanzine our companion as Driver and Guide for entire six days, was too sincere and knowledgeable and cooperative. All accommodations suggested by Yugal were very nice and worth staying. To be very honest Yugal’s communication skill and behaviour impressed me so much that I will remain in touch with him for my future upcoming trips. Thoroughly enjoyed with family! Thank you for making it a memorable one, Yugul and Travel Triangle. All places were beautiful and worth seeing, the huge landscapes and Pangong lake particularly and their scenic beauties have stolen our hearts
