I just finished the most incredible tour of North Kerala, and the credit goes to the team that made it happen:
Rawabi Holidays!
Specifically, a massive thank you to the owner, Mr. Abdul Sathar, and his entire staff. From the first phone call until the moment we said goodbye, their service felt less like a transaction and more like being hosted by family.
Here's what made our experience with Rawabi Holidays so special:
β’ The Personal Touch: Mr. Sathar truly understands the heart of North Kerala. He curated an itinerary that went beyond the typical tourist spots, allowing us to deeply experience the local dishes of Calicut , the quiet beaches of Kannur, the hidden gems of Wayanad, the tea plantations at Ooty pool, kayaking in the backwaters or the houseboat ride in Kasargod and many more actually.
β’ Seamless & Stress-Free: Every little detail was taken care of! The accommodations at Calicut were a 5 Star, Wayanad was in the middle of a privately owned farm, Ooty in the heart of the tea plantations, Kannur was at the backwaters, all were perfect. The transport was always on time, and we never had to worry about a thing. It was pure, relaxing travel.
β’ The on-ground Team : Our driver Mr Jaffer was experienced, safe and punctual. He was an absolute gemβso full of local stories and knowledge about the place.
Mrs. Safreena was taking care of the itinerary and she was attentive and available at any time of the day. Always reachable and communicating, making sure everything is covered. Very personal touch that made us so relaxed.
Mr. Iqbal designed the itinerary and also gave us alternative options when weather played a spoiled sport. They made us feel genuinely connected to the place.
If youβre planning to explore the unique beauty and rich culture of the Malabar coast, I wholeheartedly recommend Rawabi Holidays. Thank you, Mr. Sathar, for sharing the real beauty of your home with us!
