I feel like I've seen as much of India as possible in a month. There was a full range of activities that included "must-see" sites. There was a balance of occasional free time without sacrificing getting as much out of our day as possible! The high opinion I have of your CEOs has remained intact--I don't know how you are able to harvest such high quality individuals to lead the tours. I love G Adventures.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on this tour! The scenery throughout was incredible, and it was a great contrast to time spent in India’s North visiting the Golden Triangle. Walking in Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, a tour of a spice farm, and time on the houseboat in the backwaters were particular highlights. Pacing of the trip was good, with multiple nights in some of the towns, in between longer drives.
Our driver, Noufel, had a good grasp of English, and was very helpful. The tour company and their staff were also very communicative via WhatsApp, and checked in throughout to ensure everything was going well. Our hotels were comfortable and served good food. Most had AC (though it wasn’t really needed in Munnar due to the altitude).
Visiting in Summer, there wasn’t so much wildlife, but the scenery everywhere was still amazing!
Hi Ritu,
I'm sorry for my delay in responding.
Our experience was fabulous! Your company did a truly wonderful job in making sure that all parts of the trip went smoothly. We appreciated how staff checked in on us and saw us to our next destination. Karan our driver was incredibly kind and professional. We really enjoyed spending time with him. The guides were good as well; we had exceptional guides in Agra and Jaipur.
Thank you for a great trip.
Best,
Jodi Marcus

Visiting the enchanting destination of Kerala is an indefinable experience. The immense greenery, exotic flora and fauna, the magnificent Western Ghats and countless other wonders offer a great escape to lose yourself in the splendid beauty of nature. Similarly, the Golden Triangle Tour of India offers its own priceless moments. I enjoyed a lot in the land of festivals and cultures. Thank you for the amazing hospitality, but you could have added some more local dishes other than paneer to the menu.

Dreaming of lush mountains, tranquil backwaters, and golden beaches? The 'Explore Kerala in Seven Days' tour package guides experienced travelers and seniors through the scenic marvels of southern India at a relaxed pace. Beginning with a warm welcome at Cochin airport or railway station, the journey sweeps you into the emerald hills of Munnar, famous for its fragrant tea and cardamom plantations. Take in rolling landscapes and cool breezes that define this iconic hill station.
Travel onward to Thekkady, gateway to wildlife and spice-scented air, before enjoying the quintessential Kerala experience—a serene cruise on the backwaters of Alleppey. Spend a magical night aboard a traditional houseboat, drifting past palm-lined shores and quiet villages.
Your adventure continues in Kovalam, where you can unwind on sun-drenched beaches or explore the vibrant coastline. Though self-guided for ultimate flexibility and independence, helpful representatives ensure seamless transfers and hotel check-ins, providing peace of mind.
This trip’s unique advantage is the blend of independence and support, allowing travelers to savor Kerala’s natural beauty and culture at their own tempo. The standout feature: an overnight stay on a houseboat, offering an intimate glimpse into life along Kerala’s famed backwaters.
Southern India is a kaleidoscope of colour, culture, and calm — and this journey takes you straight into its heart. Wander the sculpted temples of Mamallapuram, stand in awe at Thanjavur’s towering Brihadeshwara Temple, and lose yourself in Madurai’s vibrant Meenakshi complex. Between temple visits, you’ll taste spices where they’re grown, float through Kerala’s famous backwaters, and discover daily life in bustling markets and quiet villages. It’s history, nature, and culture rolled into one unforgettable adventure.
