Sunday Telegraph article on Kerala

On 12 February the Sunday Telegraph had an article on Kerala – top tips, recommendations and traveller advice from readers. We were very pleased to see that almost all the properties and activities that were featured are offered by us. We were pleased to see Old Harbour and Brunton Boatyard in Cochin and Vivanta by Taj in Kovalam as these are some of our customers’ favourite hotels. We were also delighted to see some of our most popular homestays and guesthouses including Olive Brook, Vanilla County and Kalaketty Estate.

The backwaters and houseboats were of course featured but we would disagree with the one contributor that stated that ‘one night is enough’. That may be the case for some people but most of our customers prefer longer as one night only gives an afternoon of cruising and a very short circular route. A two or three night cruise allows you to get away from the main cruising channels, which these days can be very busy with other houseboats.

One writer commented that you no longer had to fly from Heathrow - and it was good to be able to fly from Manchester to Trivandrum via Dubai. Yes – Emirates operate from many of the UK’s regional airports including Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle. They also fly into all three of Kerala’s airports – not only Trivandrum but Cochin and Calicut too. Qatar Airways also fly from Manchester. So if Heathrow is not convenient there is no need to fly from there - we have been offering our customers flights from the regional airports for many years.
