- AKieron· March 21st, 2023There are almost too many to mention, Munnar was beautiful and the tea plantations have to be seem first hand to be fully appreciated. To end in Appalley on a houseboat was both fitting and brought an opportunity to digest and assimilate the trip in a serene and unique setting.Show moreTrip date: March 2023Review collected by Explore!

- ASophie· December 4th, 2023Small-ish group of only 6 people, huge amount of variety of experiences packed into the itinerary, easy-going but very competent guide, no delays. The food on the walking/camping days was very good and the lunch locations were wonderful. We were blessed with good weather though which definitely helped. Walking along the old elephant path was wonderful (the day before Top Station camp). Seeing the ‘field to plate’ process of tea, spices, and rice was very educational and one of my highlightsShow moreTrip date: November 2023Review collected by Explore!
