Amazing trek through the tea plantations - We had the most amazing trek through the tea plantations with Ramesh today. He was extremely knowledgeable with the tea picking process along with pointing out various flora and fauna but the real highlight was coming across some elephants which we sat and watched whilst having some tea and delicious cake that Ramesh brought along. We would highly recommend this trek.

Experience with Raja - This half day trekking with our guide Raja was a memorable experience. Raja’s experience in fauna and flore led us to a fantastic adventure in the hill of tea plantation. We learned a lot from him and I would say that it was our best Holliday ever. Not to forget the delicious snack and tea made by his wife. I would recommend Raja without any doubt if anyone would like to know about tea plantations and its surroundings.

Great hike in the tea plantations - Raja organized a great hike in the tea plantations. His great knowledge in botany is surprising, he adapts to our rhythm which was perfect for 2 60 years old πŸ˜ƒ. Unfortunately we only saw the elephant turds (which is not bad enough)! Raja regaled us with the little snack prepared by his wife. We know all about the 3 teas. Raja is really friendly I recommend him 100%

An unforgettable hike - Don't hesitate a moment to go on a trek with Munnar info and especially guide Ganeesh. We had a great hike today, wonderful views - never had a cup of tea and homemade biscuits in a nicer spot - and the children (14 and 16) enjoyed every moment of it. We hope to come back again, and wish all other travelling families a similar experience

Excellent guided trek into the hills surrounding Munnar, Kerala - Excellent guided trek into the hills surrounding Munnar, Kerala. Our guide was very knowledgeable, pointing out many local flora and fauna, and brought snacks to replenish us. There were signs of elephants nearby and some other hikers managed to see one heading into the forest!
