“Had a great trekking experience trekking the Lekshmi hills and tea estate. Kumar did a great job guiding us through the path.

But with Kumar we were able to navigate easily and were rewarded with breathtaking views for the surrounding area. Highly recommend if you are in Munnar and looking for trekking options.”

Review of Munnar’s Anakulam elephant and waterfalls tour, with tea estates, river crossings, jeep transport, meals, costs, and practical tips.
“We went to 1 waterfall rather than the 2 in the itinerary. We weren’t taken to multiple places on the itinerary - we drove past them but I don’t count that as visiting them. Our driver was friendly but barely spoke English and wasn’t a guide - zero insight into anything. 90% of this tour is being driven around. Very underwhelming all round sadly.”
