Oh! It was a wonderful trip and we passed the right amount of time at every place. Although this was my first trip to India with Trinetra tour, but I found it the best tour operator for India. Our tour guide Mukesh was very helpful and we would like to thank him.


Kerala Spice Trip in India was an interesting trip. Kerala was tropical, lush and really is God's own land. We got a chance to enjoy the pleasant boat ride across backwaters of Kerala. Overall it was a very relaxed trip with plenty of leisure time.
