Excursion privée de 6 jours: Sanctuaire de la vie sauvage de Periyar et croisière en péniche Backwater au Kerala

On the whole we enjoyed the tour but there was a lot of driving and some of the places we were supposed to see were closed or unavailable which was very disappointing, I thought the cost of the trip was expensive considering we paid a similar price for a 10 day tour around the golden triangle and Varanasi. Tour of Fort Kochi was interesting but there wasn't a lot to see. Hotel was good. Drive to Munnar was long and when we arrived we were told we couldn't go to the national park meant to be the highlight of the trip because the goats were mating. One night in Munnar would have been enough, not a lot to do round there. Hotel okay but no fridge or ice available to have a cold drink in the evening. Another long drive to Thekaddy and the boat ride and tiger reserve was unavailable which was another disappointment. Hotel nice. We had a nature walk arranged for us instead but that was just like walking round a large park at home so didn't make up for it really. We took two optional extra tours to make up some time, an elephant ride and a visit to the tea factory, one that was actually being worked in. Another long drive to the houseboat and apparently we were almost two hours late. Houseboat experience was great and the staff couldn't have been more friendly, they even got us some beer, at a cost, and organised us to go for a massage so a nice end to the trip. Unfortunately the ride to the airport was longer than we were expecting and it was a mad rush to get our flight to Delhi so all the relaxing was a little spoilt. Make sure before you book this tour you understand the itinerary and confirm if you are actually going to do what they say you are.
