This was a must do experience, when visiting Kerala. From pick-up at any point around Kochi, the travel to Munnar is a long drive on bustling roads, but a must do to see what Kerala is all about. Monesh, our driver, made this even better by showing us various sites and stops on the way, including brilliant food recommendations. The hotel in Munnar area was lovely, with even better food provided in the restaurant. The stops in Munnar at the tea plantations, reservoirs and trekking tours were incredible.
Then came the houseboat experience on Venbanad Lake. This is a MUST DO, as it’s just beautiful. We were also given an option of an early small boat tour around the smaller backwaters, where the variety of bird life is incredible. Binoculars and a decent camera are vital!
Overall, Monesh made our experience perfect. We wish him all the best and would travel back to Kerala just to see him again. Valare Nandi, friend.
