Great driver, interesting itinerary. - We had a great day out with Munnar.info. Ganesh was our driver and his skills were very much appreciated on the winding road, especially coming back in heavy fog and darkness! We felt very safe with Ganesh at the wheel. We saw one nigrili tahr (rare mountain goat) at the NP. The stop at the jaggery place was very interesting. We thennhad a 3 hour hike at Chinnar Sanctuary. Wildlife is apparently better in the morning but we saw lots of very colourful birds, beautiful grey langur monkeys and their babies. Also two male Indian spotted deer. Very enjoyable day. If going in winter take a jacket for the return journey as it gets cold in the jerp.

Fantastic tour through tea fields, waterfalls and lakes - Thank you to Mani for an excellent day exploring the tea fields around Munnar, as well as waterfalls and lakes. We weren’t so lucky with the elephants in the evening, but had an amazing time nonetheless!

Wild animals, waterfalls and a small sugar cane factory - The drive with Mani (our driver) from our apartment first went past the huge tea plantations and beautiful purple flowering trees. Wherever we would have looked by, he would immediately spot the wild animals: the bison that crossed the road behind our car, the deer in the reserve, the monkeys (after we told him that there are no monkeys in our area and therefore they are... are special to us). When we arrived at the reserve, we booked the Thoovanam Waterfalls tour (you pay directly there) and walked the one-hour walk (one way) to the waterfalls. Elephants probably come there to drink, but unfortunately not at the time we were there (around 1:00 p.m.). It was very hot, but Mani had prepared plenty of water bottles for us. It is pleasant to sit in the shade by the waterfalls and listen to the sounds of nature. We also saw various monkeys and giant squirrels along the way. Finally, we visited a small sugar cane factory where the individual steps of production were shown. When asked, Mani explains everything you want to know and makes suggestions about what is worth seeing in a very pleasantly reserved manner. This way you don't feel pressured to do anything and can enjoy the tour according to your interests. We had fun!

Great introduction to Munnar and the spectacular environment! - We have a wonderful memory of the two days which we spent with Suresh, exploring Munnar by jeep. He was flexible guide, replanning the tour to accommodate the wet weather. With his help we sighted lots of wildlife and he forwarded his own photos later. Suresh kindly organised our visit to the local Cultural Show and waited til late take us home afterwards at the end if a 9 hours tour!

Perfect introduction to the Munnar area! - An excellent tour of the local area around Munnar. Suresh our guide/driver was keen to show us the highlights and adapted the program for the day to accommodate the wet weather. He was very helpful in arranging for us to see Kathakali Cultural show and waited to take us home after a 9 hour day!
