Many thanks, you are a star and I would and will recommend you. Back in the summer I booked so many hotels in India because we wanted to see many places, I did save all the confirmations but the pc didnt seem to want to reopen yours. I wish I had found you before I made so many bookings with different people but I certainly will use you in the future for all India bookings I may make. It has been a pleasure to deal with you. All our good wishes from me and my husband.
Well back home and really missing Kerala, we looked forward to it for so long now its gone but so many happy memories.
Firstly thank you for all your help in planning and booking our stay, the trip was first class. I have listed a few comments. I would also like to compliment the drivers who looked after us so well at times even having to brave floods to get us to our destinations they are great!
Tea Bungalow - A real gem first class in all departments, Vipen one of the managers looked after us so well making us feel very special and cooking us some great food. Rooms are very comfortable and superb bathrooms. I would recommend it to all.
Vembanad House. What a setting it was so tranquil Sandhya was the perfect host and the food was sublime two days was not enough. thank you for taking us there.
Green Mansions (Gavi Lake). We could not stay in a tent as planned however they gave us a room in the lodge and looked after us so well. The accom and food are basic but the expierence was fantastic. We had our own guide he took us on a trek the afternoon of our arrival. The next day we went on a morning sfari and that afternoon on a 4.5 hour jungle trek. It rained all the time we were both attacked by leaches and our boots took 4 days to dry. We loved every minute of it.
Pappachan's House What a wonderful family and great homestay. Loved everything about this one, it rained again so we arrived late but they quickly restored our spirits. Because of the rain they could not take us to their normal trips but we went shopping and then spent an afternoon of fun with the children. We left having made some new friends a great choice.(maybe not for everyone)
Marari Beach. After the homestays we felt this might prove to be a little impersonal, how wrong we were the staff are the making of the place. The bungalows are verywell appointed and the bed so comfortable. we enjoyed the treatment centre and the food in the beach grill was very good and not too pricey. Specail mention for the beach grill staff. We took advantage of the bikes they provide and had a look around the local villages, great fun. The bikes could do with a service. I had a bad fall due to the poor condition of the path outside our room I will send you a photograph.
Also liked the closeness to town 20mins in tuktuk. Again a good choice thanks.
This was a special trip for us and we would love to come to Kerala again. If we do I will most certainly use your services again
It was an excellent trip we had. Our stay was comfortable at both the places but we liked Bangaram the most. The under sea beauty is amazing and beyond expectation. The services offered by Karmakerala are really appreciable.Thnks Venu, thanks a lot.
Tijo was a great help in finding and booking exactly what i had asked for. The houseboat was fantastic the food was the best we had eaten it was mouth watering.
Golden Sands : I have to say that the hotel was great, what lovely people they are and i felt very safe with them even after my friend had returned to england, they really looked after me. the food here was also very good and they bought every freash and to order.
Our Service
Excellent Service, Tijo - i could not have asked for more from my vacation and its all down to Tijo, he listened and repsonded perfectly.
Your Responce was Excellent & Very quick i had a response and phone call within hours and within 12 hours everything was booked.
Tijo helped out when i had forgotten which boat service we were using he provided the address quickly via email and also gave me the owners phone number in case of further conplications. The driver was from the hotel he was fab, ready and waiting for us on arrival, what more can you ask for after a long flight.
About Kerala
Ayurveda was Excellent, Indian head massage and full body in Varkala - perfect just the thing to unwind.
Can not remember the food being so good from when i visited many years ago, only had one ok meal in Peryiar and as i say it was ok, but in comparison with everything else we ate it was made to be ok. Seafood and food very cheap and loved the thali.
Always hard to recommend but the houseboat and seeing river life is a must, Varkala was also very pretty and compact with very cheap and nice accommodation
Trip was Fabulous, The organisation that Venu from your organisation had put in place before our arrival.Everything wen't perfectly, The whole trip was a highlight but probably our last night in India that we spent in the Taj Palace with a room looking over the gateway to India it was very special.
Houseboat (5 star) The three nights we had in the boat were outstanding.the crew on our boat really made the difference they were so much fun.
Service was Excellent, Venu was absolutely brilliant doing this from the other side of the planet would have been much more difficult without his help and Knowledge he was truly outstanding.All the drivers we had while in India were also really good ambassadors for your country and became more than drivers but friends as well.
Enquiries and Responces where very prompt and professional.
Did you enjoy the food in Kerala? Excellent
Tell us more...Now that I am home I miis the food incredibly it was superb.
What would you recommend to others? all of it I just wish I had the money to come back straight away.Definetly next year.
