Go during monsoon szn! It’s so lush. - Ramesh was an excellent trekking guide! What made him exceptional was his ability to share knowledge not only learned through his self study but through his family’s 4 generations as tea laborers. Highly recommend Ramesh for your day trek on the Lakshmi Estate. I would also encourage folks to travel during monsoon season for a more sustainable experience. This helps out the locals during off season! Though anytime you might go, truly this will be a once in a life time opportunity. Try some fresh cardamom pulp, eat a guava, drink some spring water! And watch out for leeches. 🩸🙃

Great trek in the tea gardens, very pleasing atmosphere - Great walk through the beautiful tea gardens of Munnar, with Mari providing excellent guidance on the trails as also on the local flora and fauna. The trek was not too hard but also has its own set of exciting challenges. Munnar Info gave all the support that was necessary

Wonderful guide and beautiful views - We were completely blown away by this trek - the views once you reach the peaks are some of the most magnificent we’ve ever seen. Our guide Ramesh was fantastic.

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!
