We wanted to go Kerala for a long time for we had heard a lot about its beauty and natural ambience. So finally when the opportunity came, my brother and I decided to go there with our wives and kids.
I chose TravelTriangle to book our package for I wanted to book my package from a trusted source. TravelTriangle being a big website and having the option of customization and personalization of holidays, turned out to be my ideal solution.
I liked their idea of connecting me to various travel agents for best quotes and customization. Soon, we were all sorted when it came to the land package.
Now all we had to do was to count days till for our holiday to begin.

We also enjoyed an elephant ride there and the kids loved it! Later on, we proceeded to our main destination – Munnar and reached our resort – ‘Broad Bean Resort & Spa’.
Our first reaction on seeing the resort was complete disbelief since we had never seen a hotel buried deep in the woods. We were spellbound by its amazing location amidst the mountains and greenery.

We reached Alleppey houseboat area in the morning at 11 AM and then proceeded towards our pre-booked houseboat.
The houseboat took us to an island and in the middle of a lake and having lunch there was a fascinating experience. Later on, we proceeded for the backwaters tour and we loved the serenity and the majestic views that it offered. Everything was so lush and green, it looked perfect!
In the evening, they took us back to the same island and we had a few snacks amidst nature.
In the night, there was festive ambiance all around and we were served dinner amidst music and laughter. We also watched a movie there and it was a spectacular feeling doing all of this in the middle of an island surrounded by the forest.
