Our Golden Triangle with Kerala tour was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The rich history of Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra left us in awe, especially seeing the majestic Taj Mahal in person. Kerala was a perfect contrast, offering serene backwaters, lush green tea plantations, and peaceful beaches. Every moment was thoughtfully planned, from the city tours to the houseboat stay. This combination gave us the best of India’s heritage and natural beauty. Highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking variety and unforgettable memories!

The entire trip was seamless, with amazing accommodations and a knowledgeable guide who made everything enriching and fun. It was a dream journey that our family will cherish forever.
