What people love about Nature & Wildlife Tours in Southern India
- South India Kerala Tour - 8 Days Backwaters, Tea Hills, Wildlife & Houseboat Experience
We had a memorable 8-day tour of South India, thanks to the professional and friendly team. Our guide, Satish, made sure we had an unforgettable experience, taking us to iconic sites and hidden treasures. The accommodations were excellent, providing comfort and great service, with each hotel having its unique charm. We enjoyed the local cuisine, cultural performances, and beautiful landscapes. A highly recommended tour for anyone looking to explore the heart of South India!
- Kerala Tour With Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary
My recent trip to Kerala, especially the visit to Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, was nothing short of magical. The tour offered a perfect blend of lush landscapes, cultural experiences, and wildlife adventure, making it an unforgettable journey.The houseboat stay in Alleppey, tea gardens in Munnar, and Kathakali performances gave the trip a well-rounded cultural touch.
We had a wonderful 5 days touring Kerala with our amazing driver Mr. Zakkir. The tour was a nice pace, hitting the highlights of the area. Munnar was exquisite. It is up in the mountains with misty clouds all around, windy roads, and tea plantations all around. Thekkady also beautiful town known for its wildlife boar tour on Periyar lake. To add to the wildlife scenery- lots of giant bats and monkeys that come out in the evening! The Alleppey boat tour was a pleasant surprise- boating gently through the backwaters- with great meals provided. For kochi is a beautiful boardwalk along the coast- not to be missed. Overall- the trip was great. Kerala food has been our favourite Indian cuisine so far. Would recommend for anyone looking for a short tour of Kerala.
