Fantastic hike with amazing guide and wonderful views

Awesome views, worth the effort of the hike. We are strong hikers from Canada and on the hot day this hike was perfect; we were tired by the end. Our guide Sanish was super helpful and kind. You should request him if you are interested!

A very good full day trekking with a very good guide, Vijay is his name. He took care of us, showed us during the trekking and had a very good knowledge of tea and the nature.

We did the “full day hike through tea plantation” tour and it was an amazing experience. The scenery was breathtaking and varied - we would have been a little bored if it was the same terrain throughout, but we walked through tea plantations, forest, and mountain trails with open vistas. Ramesh, our guide, was key to making our experience a wonderful one. He was knowledgeable, fun to hang out with and took care of us when some of us were tired and needed help. We hiked / walked a total of about 10 miles with a 2,000 feet elevation gain. We definitely recommend the tour and Ramesh as the guide.

We had a fabulous walk with our guide, King, through the Lekshimi tea plantation where we were given insight into tea production and the numerous plants with medical properties in the area. We had great local food along the way and lunch looking down over the plantation.

This was a fantastic trip! Our guide Mani was very helpful with some knowledge about the trip and frequently took the extra time to look for animals (although we didn't end up finding any on this hike). He was patient with us during picture and snack breaks and the lunch he brought was delicious! I highly recommend Mani for this trek.
