Pranab's 5 days trip to Kerala

Planned my trip to the beach side of Kerala with "Jaunt Holidays Make Memories" . Mr. Anil was the point of contact, and helped chalk out a plan according to my inputs and their suggestions. The planning and finalising of the itinerary was really smooth and I was assured that from the start to the end, the trip would go smooth, and Stay and travel won't need to be bothered about . That turned out to be true when we reached Kerela. Everything from the Houseboat, to the accomodation at Varkala as well as Kovalam were really good. The Cab driver / guide, Mr. Maneesh, was quite the good chaperone and knew the roads well to make our transits pretty quick in comparison to Google map estimations. Special mentions - - Allepey - Houseboats - Kiliroor houseboats were decent and impressive. - Jatayu Earth Center - MUST VISIT - but only after 4pm . Sunset worth watching. - Kovalam - The Neelakanta - This property couldn't have been better placed. Overlooking the main beach. If you are lucky , getting a sea view room will make you not want to go to the beach as it's so close to the beach. (90% of their rooms are sea view or partial sea view). A brilliant suggestion by Mr. Anil. Highly recommend booking through this travel agency !

Priyanka's 3 days trip to Kerala

Me and my friend planned a short trip for Kerala which included visit to Munnar, Thekkady and Varkala. Back2travels helped in organising the tour, accommodation and car service. The trip didn't go as it was supposed to. On the very first day we met with an accident and we had to spend one hour in the local police station so that the driver could resolve his issues. Next day the driver skipped some spots for sightseeing about which we're not happy. Overall we had a nice trip and pleasant time spending in Kerala.

Mahesh's 7 days trip to Kerala

Overall Trip was good, only one thing which can be improved is Alleppey Houseboat. Houseboat experience was pathetic.Next time i will not stay in Houseboat. Houseboat captain has stolen my money from purse. I didn't raise at that time due to safety issue. Poovar Island, Kanyakumari, Varkala and Kovalam beach.
