Trekking in India
Journey through Kerala
Our popular and long running journey in South India. Biking beside the Arabian Sea, hiking above the tea estates in the Cardamom Hills, a backwater boat ride, an Indian arts centre, a wildlife reserve and final days by the beach combine to make this unhurried visit to India a very memorable trip.
Cochin, the spice centre of India, is perched around numerous islands and peninsulas. We catch ferry-boats between islands before heading to the cool Cardamom hills, where we hike above the tea estates to reach the highest peaks in South India at over 2500m.
Travelling south, we stay at Periyar wildlife reserve where there are tiger, elephant, deer, wild boar, monkeys, fish eagles, hornbills and many kingfishers and walk through plantations of cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, cumin, cinnamon and pepper.
On our boat journey down the tranquil Kerala backwaters we pass through a tapestry of rice fields and end at an arts centre where we can practise or watch woodcarving, martial arts, south Indian cooking and Kathakali dance. Finally we bike towards the coast 4-5 hours daily before the sun gets too high. Through the palm trees is the Arabian Sea and we spend the final days on its golden beaches.
Consider extending your trip to spend a couple of nights at Kovalam.
