Kerala and Tropical India tour was an outstanding trip and a real adventure. It was a great introduction to India, Indian culture and history as well as the natural beauty of Kerala. Overall a well-refreshing trip.


Oh! What an amazing trip it was? We never imagined about such a thrilling trip. We got to see a variety of wildlife at wildlife parks, besides. Visit to Fort Cochin was very interesting, here we saw a number of colonial buildings.


Very satisfied with tour operator Trinetra tour and with the tour leader Yogesh. We'll definitely go on another trip like this with Trinetra, probably to another part of India.
