Great Value and Scenery

Very well organized. The drive from Munnar to Thekkady is long but scenic. The houseboat experience was very peaceful. Only wish we had one more day in Kochi to explore the cafes.

Lush and Beautiful

Kerala is so green! The tea gardens in Munnar are like nothing I've seen before. The car was clean and the AC worked perfectly. A bit of driving, but that's expected to see it all.
