Anuj's 7 days trip to Kerala

7 days ago
Had a trip to Kerala in December'24. I visited Munnar, Alleppey and Varkala with my wife and parents. The experience was pretty good from Travel Triange agent. They provided Ertiga for commuting from one city to other as well as intracity sightseeing. The 2 night stay(Munnar Queen) in munnar was satisfying and upto the expectation. Same goes with the stay(The World Backwaters) in Alleppey. But the stay(Elixir Cliff - Villa Sasha) in Varkala was pathetic to say the least. It had no refirgerator, rooms were smelling very bad, weirdly there was no handle from outside in the balcony door, swimming pool was not maintained properly and I would not recomment this property to anyone. The driver from book it forget it was good. Overall, I had a decent trip top Kerala with my family. Thanks to Travel Triangle/book it forget it for making it seamless and memorable.

Jaipra's 7 days trip to Kerala

3 months ago
Kerela Trip for 7days & 6 nights in Sept,24. Well managed trip. Very supportive response from Driver Sahal and Soni from Kerela Expedition. Soni was always availble to support us and clearing all doubts from day 1 to till the end of the trip. This was our 1st trip managed/package offered by Kerela Expedition (Soni) and we were delighted to get the level of support from Soni & Driver Sahal. Deshashan Hotel was very good in Varkala and also their room service. Neelkanta hotel at Kovalam beach was also good but we were expecting bigger room than what was provided to us. Food was good. The only negative thing on this trip was that we could not enjoy Varkala Beach water activity as it was closed and we were not able to explore Varkala.

Mir's 5 days trip to Kerala

5 months ago
It was a great experience. Awesome resort in Munnar with a beautiful waterfall view and in Varkala, the stay was also good (earlier the allocated room was stinky and after requesting for a replacement, got upgraded to a much better room). About the cab driver --- He is a gem of a person. Very comfortable ride + a knowledgeable person. His driving skills were awesome, and we felt safe the whole time. I would highly recommend requesting for 'Manish' as your driver if you're planning for a Kerala trip. Also, I would like to thank the coordinator as well - 'Allen' for making a custom itinerary based on our likes and dislikes.

Pranab's 5 days trip to Kerala

a year ago
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 !
