Authentic Kerala experience
The village visit and Theyyam performance were highlights. The guide was knowledgeable and the itinerary was well-paced. Will book again.
Second trip with Kerala Travels
Booked our second trip with Kerala Travels and they delivered again. The Munnar tea garden tour was the highlight. Highly recommended!
