The trip was great! Everything worked very well The travel itself was well elaborated, the hotels were very well equilibration, from the more basic ones to the luxury resorts as the Dune or the Taj Malabar in Cochin. A very special experience was the trip on the boat (Spice Coast Cruises) -> simply great!
Also a very big compliment for Shiva, our driver. He was someone we could fully rely upon
As a summary we were extremely satisfied with the travel and the organization from Shanti Travel.
