What our guests say

“Houseboat ke deckhand ne hume evening mein fishing sikhai — desi rod se local fish pakadna. Ek fish bhi pakdi! Phir cook ne wo fish raat ke khane mein pakaya. Itna fresh aur itna tasty khana pehle kabhi nahi khaya. Kerala backwaters ek alag hi duniya hai.”

“The Chinese fishing nets on the Fort Kochi waterfront at sunset, with the boats, the water and the orange sky — our guide knew exactly where to stand and when to arrive. The heritage quarter of Fort Kochi is beautifully preserved. Munnar and the backwaters both delivered completely.”

“Mummy-papa aur teen bacche — panchon ko Kerala pasand aayi. Munnar mein tea garden walk bachon ne bahut enjoy ki. Thekkady mein elephant encounter ekdum safe aur supervised tha. Kumarakom mein houseboat ka raat ka experience sab ko life mein pehli baar mila. Shukriya Globalduniya!”

“Travelling with teenagers requires attractions that hold their interest without being "educational" in a self-conscious way. Kerala delivered for our 14 and 16-year-old — the Thekkady elephant safari, the houseboat experience and the Kochi kayak tour in the evening all kept them fully engaged.”

“Bacchon ke liye Thekkady ka elephant darshan life-changing experience tha. Naturalist guide ne elephant behaviour ke baare mein itna sikhaaya ki bachon ne vapas aake school mein presentation bhi di! Kochi mein Jew Town aur backwaters cruise dono family ke liye great raha.”

“We had two young children (5 and 8) and were slightly worried about the houseboat safety. The captain took care of everything and the children were fascinated by the canal life — the fishing boats, the water buffalo wading, the kingfishers. A wholly gentle and beautiful experience for families.”

“Kochi mein Jewish heritage trail pe guide ke saath ghoomna ek unexpected highlight raha. 400 saal puraani Jewish community ki history aur synagogue — bahut fascinating tha. Munnar aur backwaters ke sath Kochi ka yeh cultural dimension trip ko aur bhi rich bana gaya.”

“Munnar ki chai bagicha mein subah ka nazara aur phir Alleppey mein houseboat pe shaam — dono completely alag experiences the. Kerala food bhi ekdum mast tha — fish curry, appam aur payasam roz mila. Guide bahut friendly tha aur local knowledge bhi achhi thi.”

“Winding roads through endless tea terraces leading down to the backwaters — Kerala delivers visual contrast that few destinations can match. The houseboat cook prepared a prawn curry with fresh coconut that we have been dreaming about since we returned. Windermere Estate in Munnar was beautifully located.”

“Thekkady mein spice plantation tour, Munnar mein tea garden walk aur Alleppey mein houseboat pe raat — teen experiences jo ek doosre se bilkul alag hain. Kerala ki green khubsoorti ne poori family ko aisa feel karaya jaise hum paintings mein ghoom rahe hain.”

“Our guide in Thekkady took us through a working spice garden — cardamom, pepper, nutmeg, cloves. Touching and smelling each plant and then tasting them in the lunch preparation was a completely immersive experience. Alleppey backwaters at dusk completed a perfect Kerala afternoon.”

“Alleppey ke backwaters mein houseboat pe raat guzaari. Sone se pehle jo silence tha aur suba jo chirping the — woh moments hamesha yaad rahenge. Kerala ki greenery aur clean environment bahut refreshing tha. Khana bhi pure Kerala style tha, jo bahut tasty tha.”

“We visited in August and were warned about monsoon. The rain made Kerala more beautiful, not less — the tea gardens steaming in the mist, the rivers running full, the backwaters green and lush. It felt completely authentic and uncrowded. Windermere Estate in the rain was magical.”

“Munnar ki misty mornings, Thekkady ki tranquil boat, Alleppey ki houseboat pe raat — teeno mein ek alag romantic aura tha. Guide ne kabhi intrude nahi kiya, privacy ka poora khayal rakha. Candle light dinner houseboat pe bhi arrange tha jo bilkul perfect tha. Best honeymoon!”

“We chose Kerala over the Maldives for our honeymoon because we wanted somewhere with depth beyond the beach. The Munnar hill stations, the Thekkady wildlife and the Alleppey houseboat gave us three completely different romantic environments. Best honeymoon decision we could have made.”

“Houseboat pe raat guzaarna sach mein addictive hai — baar baar jaana chahenge! Backwaters ki evening ka woh silence, captain ki rowing sound aur stars — sab mil ke ek complete package tha. Ayurvedic massage bhi arrange tha jo bahut relaxing tha. Perfect honeymoon!”

“We had not associated a wildlife sanctuary with romance until the Thekkady boat safari at dawn — mist on the water, elephants on the far bank, absolute silence broken only by birds. Our guide understood that we needed time without commentary and gave it to us generously.”

“Pehli long trip together thi aur Globalduniya ne sab kuch perfect bana diya. Munnar mein morning mist ke beech chai, Thekkady mein jungle walk aur Alleppey mein houseboat pe raat — teen alag-alag romantic moments jo hum kabhi bhool nahi sakte. Shukriya!”

“Nobody warned us how quiet the Kerala backwaters are at night. No traffic, no city sounds, just frogs, birds and the occasional splash of fish. Our Kettuvallam luxury houseboat was beautifully equipped and the cook prepared a fresh Kerala fish curry that evening that was genuinely one of the best meals of the trip.”

“I came to Kerala sceptical about Ayurveda and left a convert. The consultation at Fragrant Nature Munnar was thorough and personalised — they modified my entire treatment plan based on my constitution. The Munnar tea estates surrounding the property made morning walks extraordinary.”
