    Dear Ghoomteraho Holidays, This is a small formality to acknowledge your great work concerned to our honeymoon. We booked our Kerala Honeymoon at a very short notice. Actually we wanted to go to dubai or Maldives but the rates at the last moment were too high, but we wanted to goto some beach Destination so Preetam suggested Kerala and Andamans. Again Flights for Andamans were sold out and me being a Mallu, I didnt want to goto native place for a honeymoon. But somehow Preetam convinced me and we left for cochin on 2nd January 2013. Our car was ready at the airport and the driver was very sweet and hospitable. We immediately left for Munnar and Wow; the hotel was lovely with warm staff and very tasty food and posh Valley facing room. My honeymoon is done i thought. Then at Kumarakom our hotel was right on the backwaters, again a picturesque landscape of green coconut trees and their reflection in the backwaters from our balcony. On his suggestion we went to Poovar boat ride on the golden sand beach and it couldnt get more romantic. The sunset there was mesmerising. Your choice of hotels was exquisite. You know exactly what honeymooners want. ...more
