Amazing trip. Sujith was really good at tailoring the adventure to exactly what we asked for. We felt in very good hands. Great views, lovely people, loads of interesting context on the culture, the area, how people live. The hiking is varied in a spectacular place. And the food was gorgeous. would definitely recommend.

The whole experience from start to finish was 10/10. We liked the look of the 4 day trek in the South Ghat’s but also wanted to add in a safari. This was no problem and Sujith and Francis helped to tailer our trip to locations and activities that suited our time frame. Amazing mountain views and treks in places that would be very hard to organise without local knowledge from Francis showing us all the best spots in each location. Highly recommend offbeat and will be back for another trip!
