  Asked on September 22nd, 2026

  Could you tell me exactly which activities on Day 4 in Thekkady are included in the price, and what the realistic schedule looks like? I understand bamboo rafting and border hiking are each full-day Forest Department programs, so I'd love to know what happens on which day, and roughly how many hours of hiking are involved. Could you confirm the bamboo rafting is the official Periyar Tiger Reserve program, with life jackets and a ranger escort? I'd prefer not to ride elephants — would it be possible to replace the elephant safari with extra time in the sanctuary? Could you share the confirmed hotel names for my exact dates? If the Munnar hotel is Hotel Eastend, could you kindly offer an alternative — I've read recent reviews mentioning water and electricity problems there, and I'd happily consider another option, even with a small supplement. Also, are any other travelers booked on the December 3 departure? Would I be joining a group, or would it be a private trip with my own driver? As a solo traveler I'd love some company, so do let me know if other guests might share my dates! My flight lands at Cochin Airport on the morning of December 3 — could you confirm pickup there? And on Day 7, roughly what time would I be dropped at Cochin Airport? I'd need to catch an evening flight. Finally, could you let me know your best total price for 1 person including all taxes, the payment schedule, and the cancellation policy?

    Could you tell me the price of each optional activity if booked through you — the full-day Bamboo Rafting, Border Hiking, and the Jungle Scout night walk? And may I choose them on the spot in Thekkady, or must they be pre-booked?
    
    Could you share the confirmed hotel names for December 3–9? If the Munnar hotel is Hotel Eastend, I'd love an alternative, as recent reviews mention water and electricity issues there.
    
    Are any other travelers booked around December 3? If another guest joins my dates, would the price return to the per-person sharing rate? I'd genuinely welcome the company!
    
    Could you confirm pickup at Cochin Airport on the morning of Dec 3, and that I'd reach Cochin Airport by ~16:30 on Day 7?
    
    And the payment schedule and cancellation policy?
    
    Finally — £1,059 is honestly above my budget for this trip, and I have competing quotes from four operators for this same itinerary. What is truly your best solo price?
