Great day in nature - We had a great day with our guide and driver Ganesh. The ride goes across small and very winding roads through the rainforest and past very nice tea plantations. The elephants were unfortunately late today and only arrived at the Viewpiont at 7:30 p.m. when we were on our way back. Nevertheless, the day was very successful and we can especially recommend our very nice and prudent guide/driver!

Amazing to see the elephants and some fun off roading too! - Our guide Mani was fantastic, he is very knowledgable about the area (he’s lived here all his life) we really enjoyed the other parts of the tour, but as soon as he heard elephants were arriving at Anakulam (they got there early than normal that day) we zipped off on the jeep and got to spend ages watching them on the watering hole, it was fantastic!

Elephant Village Tour - Great Experience - We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Ganesh our guide, driver took us through a tour of Munnar, explained the history, and gave a day tour that is unforgettable. We saw the elephants at Anakulam and saw 2 warerfalls on the way.

Wonderful tour with Surya - We had a beautiful day seeing the sights in Munnar with Surya. He is a great and knowledgeable guide who took his time with us and showed us the tea plantations around Munnar, waterfalls, Tiger Cave and made sure we saw the highlight of this tour: wild elephants drinking from the river at Anakulam. He also has great taste in music; we loved the playlist!

Amazing Munnar tour with Surya - We did a Munnar tour with Surya as our guide. He was kind enough to pick us up at our hotel. We then headed to the breathtaking tea plantations and had the chance to see local workers doing the harvest and to walk around. Another super cool stop was the tiger cave, although the highlight of the tour were the wild elephants! Surya was a great guide who explained everything and took great care of us!

Excellent trip with fantastic driver guide and companion. - Shiva picked us up promptly as agreed in his smart, very well maintained purple Jeep, with a warm greeting setting us up for one of the best trips we have ever experienced. He himself is a great driver, careful but confident with an extensive knowledge of the area and with excellent English so we clearly understood everything. The tour itself was extensive and beautiful taking in magical vistas and life amongst the mountains and tea plantations. In addition we visited temples, a church, waterfalls and so much more. Included in the very reasonable price was an excellent lunch and light refreshments at well considered and friendly places. Our final destination was Anakulum where we waited an hour to be blessed to see a young male elephant wash and drink in the river. To summarise we had an extensive, exciting and rewarding day with a patient, considerate and caring driver.

Experience of a lifetime - It was an unforgettable experience, Ganesh is a very knowledgeable and professional guide. He was patient and flexible enough to customise my experience and stop at places on the way to explain about local villages, tea plantation and wildlife. The local food was delicious, located in a very clean and hygienic place. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, will definitely recommend to family and friends. Thanks to Mr. Manoj and his team for their efforts and hospitality.

Very nice tour - Ganesh was a very cheerfull and nice guide and answered all our questions. We had a great time, the only thing to improve would be that instead of walking on the road making a hike through the plantation or forest. Definetly worth it especially seeing the wild elephants
