Walk for about four hours through Munnar’s tea gardens and Lakshmi Hills with a private guide such as Shiva, Chandru, or Raveendra. Expect mountain views, tea-making insight, birds, possible wildlife sightings, photo stops, snacks, and a steady uphill route that needs proper shoes and sun protection.

“Right after booking the activity, someone from the company contacted us to arrange the details. They even arranged a pickup and drop-off for us since we were staying a little outside of Munnar. The trekking itself with Mr. Raveendra was a great experience! The views were stunning and we did enough breaks so that we could enjoy the beautiful landscape. We learned a lot, Mr. Raveendra was very knowledgeable and helpful. The snacks he brought were also super delicious! We would definitely go again and strongly recommend anyone to go with Mr. Raveendra on this adventure :)”

“This tour is a scam! the "English guide" was just a tuktuk driver who barely spoke English. he first dropped me off at the tea factory and then at a very small tea field where he sent me off to walk around by myself. and that was it, no walking on a tea trail, no explanations, nothing. total scam, do not book this!”
