We had the tour with Palliyadiyil Tourism . Fantastic drivers they have. Really nice and friendly, always making sure we were ok. The tour is amazing through the natural park and we saw some elephants, gigantic squirrel and nilgiri langurs. Highly recommended β€οΈ

We went for the Sathram off-road jeep safari . It was a 3 to 4 hour trip with just the two of us, and the entire experience was truly memorable. Our driver, ,made the journey even better with his excellent driving skills, friendly behaviour, and good knowledge of the route.He made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the ride. During the safari, we were lucky enough to spot wild gaurs and deer, which made the trip even more exciting. The peaceful forest atmosphere and scenic views were simply amazing.Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves nature and adventure.

It was a great experience with Palliyadiyil tourism. Right from the start our guide was very helpful and professional. We went for 4hr jeep safari ride and we totally loved it. Our driver, for the starters was right on time and he was a good driver who shared lot of info on the safari as well. He gave us time and never rushed it. Price wise also it was very reasonable I felt.All in all a great experience and kudos to the team.

We had a terrific experience with this Jeep Safari in Thekkady. Our driver was very courteous and knowledgeable, and he showed us some wonderful spots - the spice garden, tea plantations, and hilltops with stunning views. He also kindly accommodated our request to drive slow (which Iβm sure wasnβt easy! βΊοΈ). Overall, a highly recommended experience for anyone visiting Thekkady.
