First thing we tried at Kochi. Reached the boating place around 0930 in the morning when there was less crowd. The boatman took us for a ride of 1 hour. Nice breezy weather with decent properties on either side. Nothing fancy but good time spent.

I had an amazing 1 week in "Backwaters of Kerala" tour. The hotels were fully equipped with everything we needed and more. The food was tasty and Manish made sure to pick places that have both vegetarian and meat options so everyone was satisfied!

It was my first time in South India from Chennai to Kochi. We crossed Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Naturally I had a glimpse of these 2 regions but I did see a lot. It was diversified enough that you visit the magical South Indian temples, you discover folk art and the amazing food. Nature is not left out and you will visit Tiger reserve, bird sanctuary and tea plantation.
Local Guides were ok but I can highly recommend Thomas Kuttuvayalil for the spice plantation, Jahan at the Connemara Tea plantation, and Suresh the captain and Bindu the cook at the Backwaters.
I thank again my great driver ARO Arockiasam. He was reliable, fun, and very adaptable. He took me to a bird sanctuary on the way and it is memorable. Thank you ARO.
Manish was my contact in the office and he was great. He adapted our journey when necessary and I thank him for that.
