    It was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed our holiday. UncleSam Holidays assisted us in planning our tour effectively and it turned out to be very exciting. The Driver was very sincere and efficient. One thing we should suggest is while boating in Periyar, there should be a guide who can tell us about the birds or animals. However we enjoyed gazing them on our own. We would definitely mention to our friends and relatives to travel on this tour with UncleSam Holidays.
