Is a private luxury tour in Kerala India worth it?
[Music] [Music] so hello hello hi again from india yeah we are on a private guided tour to kerala three days now three nights three nights four days we started in kochi where we were picked up and then we are taking you to munar to the tea country and down i think this is going to be the highlight on a houseboat or a private houseboat in the bed where there's catalog in this video we'll try to figure out is it worth it to go on a private guidance tour the luxury oh option um let's see let's see [Music] quick stop drive so far pretty uneventful the weather still looks okay chaotic india [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] this was now a stop at periar spices and ayurvedic garden very informative we got some turmeric we got some cloths got to be prepared for winter and some essential oils yeah you're not you're not being forced into buying stuff but we just wanted they're really nice let's go [Music] [Music] 4 000 rupees so oh [Music] so oh [Music] that was the jeep tour now it's off to the hotel [Music] vegetable or something like that rice and some kind of japanese so now off to the [Music] hotel okay [Music] five stars in india yeah we have a big bed we have a living room we have a dining table we have a room with what i know [Music] it looks fine we opted out for the luxury version of the tour because so far today nothing has been luxurious nothing this is not fine this is okay yeah we're gonna rest and we're gonna show you them again more tomorrow [Music] [Music] we had a good night's sleep and a good breakfast an indian breakfast yeah it was quite okay not too posh or anything but it got the job done now as these tours are the driver picks us up again and then we'll see what we can see today because it is the monsoon season and supposedly there are some some things closed because of the government because of the landslides and rain and stuff so we'll take a look [Music] [Music] [Music] because actually everything's closed all the factories museums we found a tea room where we're trying all the tea they have classic cream no white green classic green white center one is white yeah and this is actually this is the classic that is the roast and roast and and the thai and the peanut start romania i'll go for classic green [Music] good that escalated quickly nothing to do so we went pee shopping okay we are in the town of munar which is basically the main town of this region of the tea region um everything's closed because of the monsoon because of heavy rains and the and the landslides and landslides and stuff weather changes every second yes we're not exaggerating but yeah you can walk around you can see some plantations we found a tea room as you can see we bought some tea so now we're going to walk a little bit around and maybe choose a good hotel if you're in the region in the monsoon season in case this happens [Music] everyone [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we are in the chocolate factory checking out the supermarket why [Music] more shopping done now a quick lunch at the same place yesterday because it was so good [Music] let's go to the pool where to simona to the spa we're having an ayurveda massage and a steam bath and yeah let's see [Music] [Applause] [Music] my massage so so we'll see what simona says but it's i don't know if i'm gonna be able to film her because everything is strictly separated men downstairs women upset to see if they let me up it was very interesting the steam bath at the end was very good but the massage was on a wooden table it was quite hard for me the same and quite rough let's say mine was very soft really yeah i was very rough so yeah ayurvedic massage new experience interesting although the oiled always warm that was nice that was free small dinner and we continue tomorrow [Music] [Music] [Music] so next stop aleppi [Music] [Music] made it [Music] so after i think almost five hours we made it to what we hope will be the highlight of the store to the house boat through the back waters of kerala yes we rented private houseboats so we're alone we have a captain we have a cook and it's not that expensive if you might think you can get it already from 150 euro on booking or you just book directly ours is a little bigger with ac and deluxe so it's around i think 200 euro so far so good yeah we already got coconuts as a welcome gift just so you know there's a lot of driving in this tour today it was getting more and more dangerous the overtakings were becoming ridiculous but we're gonna now enjoy our already moving it's house me [Music] [Music] he's calling me small boats time one hour thousand rupee that's what we were told i can't control [Music] [Music] he's calling me [Music] how is the slow boat experience so far yeah um [Music] one day [Music] [Music] [Music] dinner time dinner was excellent bedtime now [Music] unfortunately we have to check out from our lovely belt our cook our captain oh yeah let's go back to kochie one day so what you just saw was a marari beach a very nice beach in kerala but during monsoon season huge waves are not possible to swim but it's a nice beach it's an indian beach so and we are back in coaching this is the last stop of the tour would we recommend it is it worth it yes and no if we could arrange the accommodation ourselves exactly it would be nicer than we would choose another hotel second thing if we could meet the driver before and know if he speaks english or not yeah because sometimes i mean i like like asking people stuff and he didn't speak any english and it was really really hard to like arrange anything actually and we just had a written itinerary and although because of the monsoon some places were closed we totally understand that but i expect from an agency that then they kind of they are a little bit flexible they give you some alternatives and stuff like that other than that or at least tell you the road is closed the museum is closed do you want to do something else no it's just it's closed so it was 11 00 am and they asked us so now we're going back to the hotel no we're not good value and all in all i think so but maybe not in monsoon season but yeah thank you for watching the video and see you next time subscribe click the notification bell and what she said
