Additional Information

Our journey begins by trekking through tea plantations for roughly 1.5 to 2 hours, leading us to the apex of the hill. The remaining few hours of our expedition will follow the ridge, presenting us with scenic vistas of grasslands, rocky mountain slopes on one side and tea plantations and stretches of Shola forest on the other. On a clear day, we can spot the Anaimudi – the tallest peak in Southern India, and the Idukki Dam, one of the highest arch dams in Asia and third highest in India. We take a break for refreshments consisting of fruits and snacks. Our trek leads us through the Nature Zone resort where we can spot some exotic spices such as Coffee and Cardamom. Our journey continues to the topmost peak (2000 mtr) followed by a short walk of about 10 minutes through the Shola forest to the tea plantation. The concluding leg of our journey involves a 1.5 to 2 hours walk through the tea plantations, finishing our trek. The highest point of this venture would be approximately 2000 meters MSL.

Absolutely amazing hike - This was the most amazing hike! Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! It was just us (the two of us) and our guide, Raja, who was so lovely. He explained so much about the history of tea and how it is made, as well as all the beautiful local plants growing and how they use them in the local area. The views were absolutely unbelievable and it was incredible walking through the tea plantations. He also brought us delicious homemade snacks, tea and lunch made by his wife which was so kind. 10/10 - would definitely recommend!

Amazing experience with Raja - The day was awesome. My guide was named Raja and he took very good care of me. Not only was the trek very informative but we also sat and ate at breathtaking spots. Raja has lots of knowledge and explained the whole tea cultivating, harvesting and process till we consume it. We also knew lots about other plants and history of the place and as we hiked he explained and answered every question I had. He also had drinks like the tea we so much talked about, snacks and very tasty home cooked food. The hike itself was also beautiful since we passed lots of nice places. 100% recommended!

FULL DAY HIKING TOUR BY MR KING - I would like to appreciate Mr Raja , the king of mountains. He's an amazing guide and very caring. He made sure that I see all the gems of Munnar in the full day hiking tour . He shared his snacks , lunch and water bottle for me . That is very courteous and kind of him . He's an adventurer and knows the best routes of the hiking. He made my trip and hiking experience the best , the unforgettable. He's not just a guide , he's a true friend. You won't feel like you are meeting him for the first time . The full day hiking tour is the best a person can experience in munnar, full of mind blowing adventure.

A great day out - This full day hike was the perfect way to see Munnar. The hiking is a good level - challenging enough to feel good but not too difficult. Our wonderful guide (King Raja) was so knowledgable, we learnt all about the tea growing and making process, but also about all sorts of other plants and animals that we saw along the way. He ensured we had adequate rest breaks and had a backpack full of water and snacks for us! His wife made us a delicious lunch which his brother-in-law dropped off for us half way up the mountain! The views are phenomenal and it's a really lovely day out.

Fantastic full day hiking in the hills around Munnar - Spent a full day hiking in the hills around Munnar. It was a fantastic experience with a thoroughly knowledgeable guide who took us through tea and cardamon plantations, amongst other things. Home cooked food from the guide’s wife was excellent as well. Would fully recommend.

Tea-riffic stuff with King Raja - One of the highlights of our trip to Kelera, hands down. This is a gorgeously green hike, and ours was led by the warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable King Raja. Guiding us up and through the lucious tea fields, no stone was left unturned as he taught us about everything from the healing qualities of local plants to how bison itch their mozzie bites to the meticulous craft of tea production. As a local from the village the trek starts in, you could really feel his passion for his community, with a true respect for the nature that surrounds them. He even carried up a flask of 'royal tea' and homemade donuts for us to dig into at the summit, which were both welcome and delicious. Additionally, he snapped some pics and even took a little video of us, which he sent on afterwards. As a trek, it isn't too difficult, with plenty of flat sections to catch your breath. And the views from the top were well worth the climb. Take sun protection and plenty of water and you'll be fine. Couldn't have been more thrilled with our day. Mannar is a beautiful spot not to be missed. Thank you King Raja - keep doing what you do!
