We had a fantastic time on this tour! We loved the focus on the natural beauty (national parks, gardens, boating, etc.) and local culture. Sumesh, our driver/guide, expertly traversed the many (many) winding mountainous roads with great skill and patience. Nimisha was very organized and had superb communication throughout our journey. The whole tour felt very authentic--we appreciated experiencing so many of the riches that Kerala has to offer. All of the lodging was of very good quality and comforts, each excelling in their own unique ways (best food, best view, best balcony, etc). One piece of advice: Pack a lightweight rain jacket-if you do, you will experience all the wonders of Kerala (even during monsoon season) as we did!
