Great hike in the beautiful green trea hills - Amazing hike up a mountain through forests and tea plantations! Our guide was great, he told us a lot about animals and plants, provided snacks and even plucked passion fruits fresh from the trees for us to try them. One of the best trips in India so far. 🌞

Amazing day trekking trip around Munnar - It was a very nice day walking trip with Ramesh in Munnar. We saw many nice trees/plants, even wild Elefants and he knew a lot about Lokal nature. The trip was a good mix between nature and Lokal tee tree and spice plantation. I would definitely recommend!

Excellent views, excellent guide! - Raja was amazing! He was incredibly helpful throughout the trek and made sure I had enough time to stop, catch my breath and continue. Not only this, he also offered to educate us about the history of Munnar and how the tea leaves are cultivated. He was punctual and made sure we didn't get too far behind the schedule and made it very easy for me a beginner like me to trek through some of the roughest patches in this trek. If you want to see the best that Munnar has to offer - he can help!

Wonderfull experience in the green hills - The half day hike with Vijayan was a great experience. The scenery is stunning. Even though we went on a cloudy day the walk through the tea plantation was magical and it helped a lot to have Vijayan with us, a local, with 15 years of guiding experience in the area. He told us many things about the plants and animals, but also life in the area itself. I'd highly recommend this tour.
