1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Traveling at a gentle pace through such beautiful countryside.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
The days are long - go to bed early! I was glad to have opted for an e-bike especially on the 80km days and when looking at a long stretch uphill!3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I think so although it's hard to judge. We ate in local restaurants and stayed in one homestay. Cycling is of course an eco mode of transport!4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent. The three support staff were great especially Ashish our guide and Vinod the driver.Rita Orr review 6 Mar 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
We all enjoyed our long day of trekking. Time on the house boat was perfect after a few days of cycling in the heat. Throughly enjoyed the homestay accommodation. Birdlife was particularly interesting2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
The itinerary is not fixed and adjustments can be made to suit you Need a resonable level of fitness. We were careful about the water but ate everything with no ill effects3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes . In Kerala they are making a big effort to reduce waste from plastic in particular. We met very few westerners on our trip so we were happy to support their tourist industry.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Well organised and felt the guide did his best to make sure we enjoyed our Kerala experience. Changes to the itinerary were usually of benefit to us. Local people were very welcoming. We were a group of 4 and ended up with 2 guides and a driver. Didn’t need 3 support staff especially when one of the guides was too slow on the bike! Accommodation was better than we expected. Food was fabulous!Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
