Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this a group tour with other families? A: No, this is an exclusive private tour. The vehicle, driver, and accommodation are reserved solely for your family (4 persons), ensuring complete privacy and flexibility throughout the trip.

Q: What type of vehicle is provided for the tour? A: We provide a spacious, chauffeur-driven A/C SUV or MPV (typically a Toyota Innova Crysta or similar) that comfortably accommodates 4 passengers and luggage. The vehicle stays with you from pick-up to drop-off.

Q: We are used to staying in hotels. What is the advantage of the “2-Bedroom Villa” concept? A: Standard hotels often require families to split into two separate rooms, sometimes on different floors. The 2-bedroom villas in this package (The Knights Bungalow, Royal Oak, and Presidential Pool Villa) allow your family to stay together in one standalone unit with a common living area, offering a home-like experience with 5-star resort amenities.

Q: Why are lunch and dinner not included in the package? A: We include breakfast to get your day started, but we leave lunch and dinner open to give you flexibility. You can choose to eat at the resort’s multi-cuisine restaurant (recommended for dinner as some resorts are secluded) or try local restaurants during sightseeing. For budgeting, we suggest allocating approximately ₹1,500–₹2,500 per meal for a family of four, depending on your choices.

Q: Does the Alappuzha stay include a houseboat cruise? A: This specific package (FP-06) features a stay at the World Backwaters Resort in a private pool villa, not on a houseboat. However, if you wish to experience the backwaters, we can arrange a private Shikara or motorboat cruise for a few hours during your stay (at an additional cost), or you can enjoy the view directly from your resort.

Q: How do we book the boating tickets for Periyar Lake in Thekkady? A: You don’t need to worry about booking them! We have included the Periyar Lake boating tickets in the package cost. Our team will handle the reservation process for you in advance to ensure your family has confirmed seats for this popular activity.

Q: Are the drives between destinations long? A: Kerala is a hilly state, so travel times can be longer than the distance suggests.

• Cochin to Munnar: ~4 hours

• Munnar to Thekkady: ~3.5 hours

• Thekkady to Alappuzha: ~4 hours The drive is scenic, and since you have a private vehicle, you can stop for breaks, photos, or refreshments whenever you wish.

Q: Can we add an extra person or child to this package? A: The package price is calculated for 4 persons. If you have additional guests or children, please inform us prior to booking. Extra mattresses can usually be arranged in the villas, but costs will change.

Q: Is this package suitable for elderly travelers? A: Yes. The private SUV ensures comfortable travel. However, please note that Munnar and Thekkady have hilly terrain. If walking is a concern, please let us know so we can request villas closer to the resort reception or main areas where possible.

Q: What is the best time to book this tour? A: To secure the specific 2-Bedroom Villas mentioned (especially the Presidential Pool Villa in Alappuzha), we recommend booking at least 2–3 months in advance, particularly for travel between October and March.
