    I’m writing this review over a year after I took the trip. I’ve done quite a few international trips and with reflection this trip ranks among the highest. The accommodations were not always luxurious to say the least but I did feel like the tour company always made an effort to make me happy. I enjoyed most of the guides but may have preferred the same guide for the entire time I was in an individual country. That’s how it was for the Bhutan portion and he was an exceptional guide. What made the trip so great for me were the destinations themselves. I found exploring these 3 countries to be extremely rewarding. If I had to go back I might try a cheaper alternative (and the price actually was much cheaper when I went) but the tour made everything easy and the experience itself was priceless.

    We recently did this trip and we had a fantastic time in Kerela, communication was great from the company prior to travel and our driver who was with us the entire trip was very accommodating and kind and drove us safely throughout the trip. We really enjoyed the Tiger reserve Trek, really lovely and a great guide. We didn't see tigers yet didn't expect to as our trek was during the day but we saw plenty of birdlife, snakes, antelope, buffalo and playful elephants which was lovely. The spice plantation was great and it was interesting to visit the tea plantations, very beautiful area and very green. The overnight backwaters private boat trip was absolutely brilliant, fantastic food and a really relaxing day / evening, hotel accommodation was of great standard, particularly by the tiger reserve, that was fantastic yet the hotel in Cochin we felt would have been better if central to Cochin for eateries etc. Overall a brilliant experience and I would absolutely recommend travelling with these guys.
