Having travelled extensively in Northern India, this was my first time in the South. It proved a hugely enjoyable tour combining walking and sightseeing. The scenery in the hills above the bustling town of Munnar is stunning with the landscape sculptured by centuries of tea growing and the higher peaks offering panoramic views over the Western Ghats. The camping was well organised with good sized quality tents equipped with comfy mates. We were expertly looked after by Sheila and her team who produced large quantities of excellent South Indian cuisine. Be prepared for all weathers - we encountered sunshine and rain on our end of November departure. Much has been made of the local leeches. They are around particularly in damp conditions, but by wearing long trousers and tucking them into my socks they were no big deal. The walking in Periyar Park was also excellent and with the help of knowledgeable rangers we were able to see elephants, mongoose, giant squirrel and a profusion of bird life. If birding is your thing don't forget to pack your binoculars.
The biggest 'shout out' must go to the tour leader Abhi who was top notch. Nothing was too much trouble, he arranged lots of extras (visits to a tea factory, spice farm, rubber plantation, stops at the off license for beer supplies, male grooming at the local barbars and oily ayurveda massages (a must do!). He kept our small group informed and entertained and it was a pleasure to spend time with him. As a solo booker, traveling with Abhi felt like holidaying with a mate.
In summary, a highly recommended, great introduction to the Kerala region of Southern India. I'll certainly be back for more.

I would say that this was the trip of a lifetime! So much was packed into 11days. You are truly immersed in the culture of Japan. I felt emotional when I left because I had just shared this amazing adventure with all these people that I didn’t know, but then got to know. Noriko, again was absolutely exceptional.!!

We had awesome trek to see Gurung community with the help of Sujan and the local operator. We managed historic hill trek to Siklis still retains an aura of old times. Historically, Siklis is renowned as one of the major origin places of Gurung Community. Here, we find the various ritual practices of Gurungs especially the works of Jhankri (shaman) and Lama (priest), who have important roles in marriage, death and day-to-day lives. Traditional technologies like alcohol fermentation, weaving clothes and sacks from the wild nettle, weaving various bamboo products, traditional water mills and stone grinders, wooden threshers etc are also the important features of Siklis. In this region we spot Nepals birds of prey including the 9ft wingspan Lammergeyer. The region is rich in flora and fauna particularly birds and butterfly because of its pristine forested surroundings and the great mountain views add an excitement. The experience was just awesome. Thanks to the entire team karma and dikki.
