Itinerary

Day 1 - Join tour in Kochi

Our trip starts in Kochi, a port city on India's Malabar Coast. Also known as Cochin, it's been a port since 1341, when it was used by Arab, Chinese and European merchants. Built across several islands with criss-crossing waterways, the city has a relaxed feel that speaks to artists and artisans from across the globe. Explore the colourful streets or head to the harbour for sunset to see the fishermen bringing in their catch.

There are no planned activities today, so you're free to arrive at any time. Our tour leader will hold a welcome meeting in the hotel reception at 6pm and there'll be the chance to go for dinner afterwards. If you arrive later, they'll catch you up in the morning.

If you'd like a hotel transfer, you'll need to arrive into Cochin International Airport (COK), which is 40 kilometer/24.90 mile/1.5 hours from the airport.

Accommodation:

Hotel Fort Queen (or similar)

Grade: Comfortable Hotel

Single room available

Meals Provided: None

Day 2 - Tour of Kochi and drive to Munnar

This morning, we'll take a walking tour of India's oldest European settlement, Fort Kochi.

Beginning with the arrival of Jewish and Arab spice traders in the first century AD, Kochi's prosperity increased with the arrival of the Portuguese, who were later followed by the Dutch and the English. This eclectic heritage has infused the city with a mixture of styles and influences.

We'll take in the architectural charms of the Church of St Francis and other notable colonial buildings such as the site of the city's 16th century Jewish synagogue (note, the synagogue is closed on Fridays and Saturdays), the oldest in the Commonwealth and the exterior of the Mattancherry Palace.

In the afternoon, we'll drive inland to Munnar and the stunning vistas of the Western Ghats. The 140 kilometre/87.01 mile drive takes us into the heart of tea country, where fresh mountain air and tropical forests share the landscape with spice plantations and tea estates.

Today's walk is graded as easy and we expect it to take approximately 2 hours.

Accommodation:

Edassery Eastend (or similar)

Grade: Comfortable Hotel

Day 3 - Hike to Seven Malai Hills through tea, coffee and spice plantations

Today, we'll head out for a hike in the Ghats. Our trail begins at the small village of Nagarmudi (1500 meter/4922 feet), just a short drive from old Munnar. Starting with a gradual climb, we'll ascend through the tea plantations up into the Seven Malai Hills, passing crops of coffee and cardamom as we make our way to the summit (1700 metere/5578 feet). The walk today will take us around 4 to 5 hours, but our hard climb will be rewarded by some spectacular panoramas across the Chittrapuram Dam and out towards the Anamudi Peak, Munnar and the local villages. Descending to our vehicle, we'll then drive back to Munnar for our second night.

Today's walk is graded as moderate and covers 11 kilometres/6.80 mile. It will take around four to 5 hours.

Accommodation:

Edassery Eastend (or similar)

Grade: Comfortable Hotel

Day 4 - Trek to Silent Valley through tea estates and shola forest

This morning, we'll journey on to begin our 3-day point to point hike. Our walk takes us through a landscape blanketed with tea plantations and sholas of eucalyptus. The beautiful views and tea estates give a real flavour of the area. Stopping to enjoy a picnic lunch in shade of a tea garden, we'll continue climbing towards our camp at Silent Valley, situated in a meadow close to a small stream.

Ascending to a height of 2000 meter/6562 feet, today's walk will cover around 12 kilometres/7.50, taking us between 4 and 5 hours to reach the camp.

Accommodation:

Silent Valley Camp (or similar)

Grade: Simple Camping

Meals Provided: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 5 - Trek to Meesapulimala Peak

Leaving camp after breakfast this morning, we'll begin the ascent of the Meesapulimala Peak, the second highest in South India. The trail towards the summit takes us from rough grassland and up onto the ridge line, where we continue climbing through patches of open grassland towards the peak. The journey to the top will take us around 3 to 4 hours and from its lofty heights, the views look down across Kerala and Tamil Nadu (if the summit isn't shrouded in mist). You might even pass the odd herd of Nilgiri Thar (a type of wild goat) on the way. After a chance to rest and enjoy the scenery, we'll then descend towards Rhodo Valley (2300 meter/7546 feet), stopping off for a picnic lunch en route. As the camping area at Rhodo Valley is currently closed, we return by jeep for a second night at our Silent Valley camp.

Today's walk is graded as moderate and covers 8 kilometres/5.10 mile. It should take around 6 to 7 hours.

Accommodation:

Silent Valley Camp (or similar)

Grade: Simple Camping

Single room available

Meals Provided: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 6 - Hike to Top Station

Today will be our longest day walking, as we meander through a stunning backdrop of verdant plantations and vivid red rhododendron forests. This part of the Western Ghats is home to a staggering array of life, with wild boar and Atlas moths sharing the stage with a dazzling mix of local flora. As we climb, the views out across the local countryside take in villages and lakes, before we begin a gradual winding descent towards Ellapetty village where we enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by vegetable gardens planted by the local tea workers. From here it's a 30-minute transfer by jeep to our final camp at Top Station/Oorkad (1900 meter/6234 feet).

Today's walk is graded as moderate and covers 16 kiolmetres/9.90 mile. It should take around 7 hours.

Grade: Simple Camping

Single room available

Meals Provided: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 7 - Drive to Thekkady

Breaking camp for the last time today we'll drive back towards Munnar and on to Thekkady, the gateway to the Periyar National Park. Taking up much of the morning, the 160 kilometre/99.40 mile drive weaves across the Western Ghats before reaching Thekkady later this morning. This part of India has long been renowned for its abundant spices. It was to the spice rich shores of the Malabar Coast that Christopher Columbus was heading when he bumped into America by mistake. After lunch, we'll take a short walk around a spice garden, enjoying an aromatic wander through crops of black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, and clove. There should also be time to explore the local bazaar before dinner.

Accommodation:

Hotel Grand Thekkady (or similar)

Grade: Comfortable Hotel

Single room available

Meals Provided: Breakfast

Day 8 - Trek in Periyar National Park

This morning, we'll take a walk to discover the flora and fauna in the Periyar National Park. Set around the picturesque shores of Lake Periyar and one of the largest parks in South India, it is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife including elephant, tiger (although we don't expect to see one), sambar, wild pigs, bison, monkeys, and langurs. It also boasts some 112 species of butterflies and 246 species of birds including cormorants, darters, ospreys, kingfishers, hornbills, and kites. The walk will take between 2 to 3 hours, after which there might be an opportunity this afternoon to enjoy an optional boat trip on the lake. Please be aware, tickets for the cruise are only available locally and are on a first come, first served basis.

Today's walk is graded as leisurely and covers mostly flat terrain. It should take around 2 to 3 hours.

Accommodation:

Hotel Grand Thekkady (or similar)

Grade: Comfortable Hotel

Single room available

Meals Provided: Breakfast

Day 9 - Drive to Alleppey and backwaters cruise

Driving to the coastal town of Alleppey, this morning we'll head for the myriad canals and channels that make up the Kerala Backwaters. There, we'll board a traditional houseboat for an overnight cruise through the region.

A time-honoured form of transport, these wonderfully characterful boats are made of anjili wood and bamboo and come with en-suite twin bedrooms and an on-board chef, providing the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of this remarkable setting. Along theses narrow channels, the villagers survive on narrow spits of land, keeping cows, pigs, chickens and even cultivating vegetable gardens. Nothing goes to waste: the shells from the freshwater mussels are burnt to make building lime and coir is used for just about everything. This evening we'll moor up along the banks of Vembanad Lake.

Accommodation:

Kerala Houseboat (or similar)

Grade: Simple Boat

Meals Provided: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 10 - Backwaters village walk and return to Kochi

After a relaxing breakfast onboard our floating home, we'll drive on to the village of West Chennamkary in the heart of the Backwaters for a walk around some of the local villages. This is a great opportunity to soak up the atmosphere of a region that provided Arundhati Roy with the inspiration for her book, 'The God of Small Things'. We'll enjoy a traditional Keralan lunch with a local family before driving back to Kochi later in the afternoon.

Our walk today is graded easy and we expect it to take up to 2 hours and 30 minutes at a very leisurely pace.

Trip information

Climate and country information

India

Climate

There is considerable variation between the different regions of India but, in general, the climate is tropical. Summer temperatures on the plains are very hot, but cooled by the South-West Monsoon, which lasts from June- September. During these months it can be very wet and therefore very humid. At altitude, temperatures can become quite cool at night even in the summer and may drop below freezing between December and February so warm clothing is necessary. In the winter, northern and mid India can be very cool, with cold evenings, so warm clothing, including plenty of layers, are essential. The south of India remains warm and sunny during the winter months.

Budgeting and packing

Optional activities

The following excursions and/or activities are usually available and may be arranged locally. Estimated costs are provided below for guidance only, are on a per person basis unless shown otherwise, and may depend on the number of participants. Prices quoted are correct as of the date these tour notes were originally issued but may change at any time due to currency fluctuations. Please note: These activities are booked and paid for locally and do not form part of your Explore holiday contract.


Thekkady - cookery course - INR 700.00
Thekkady - Kalaripayattu (Keralan martial art) demonstration - INR 600.00

Clothing

Due to the diversity of altitude encountered on tour, you will need to bring a range of comfortable lightweight clothing that can be layered according to the fluctuating temperature. On the coast and in the Backwaters you can expect both days and nights to be warm and humid and lightweight clothing is all that is needed. In the Ghats and especially on the 3-day trek, nights can be cold (possibly below freezing in Rhodo Valley).

We recommend walking trousers and shorts, breathable T-shirtshirts, walking socks, fleece jacket, waterproof jacket, warm hat and gloves and sunhat.

Whilst monsoon rainy season is from June through to early October, it can rain outside of this time. When it has rained there may be leeches in the Ghats and we highly recommend bringing your own leech socks which can be bought through outdoor equipment providers or online through retailers such as Amazon.

Please bear in mind that shorts and tight revealing clothing worn by women can cause offence and unwelcome interest.

Footwear

We recommend you bring lightweight walking boots with ankle support, make sure that your boots are worn-in and comfortable before the start of the trip. Also trainers or sandals for relaxing and general wear. We suggest that on international flights you either carry your walking boots in your hand luggage or wear them - should your luggage be lost or delayed, your own boots are the one thing that will be irreplaceable.

Luggage

20kg

Luggage: On tour

You will need a daypack and your main luggage.

Daypack: 30-35 litres recommended. During the course of the Western Ghats trek you do not have daytime access to your luggage which is transferred between camps by jeep. In any mountain region the weather can change rapidly and you must be equipped for this eventuality. Your daypack should therefore be large enough to carry waterproofs, fleece jacketweater, long trousers (if walking in shorts), warm hat and gloves, sun hat, sun cream, water bottle and your camera. It should be waterproof or have a rain cover.

Main luggage: As this will be transported between the camps by jeep and stored overnight in your tent this needs to be a kitbag, large rucksack or soft holdall style bag that is easily stored and transported.
 

Equipment

Bring a 3-season sleeping bag (whilst on trek you will be provided with a 5 centimetre thick foam sleeping mattress), 2 litre water bottle, sun cream, sunglasses and head torch.

Bring your walking poles if you usually use them.

An umbrella is useful for both rain and as a sun shade.

Tipping

Explore leader
Tipping isn't compulsory, and we work hard to ensure that our leaders all receive a fair wage. However, you might want to recognise a leader that's done a great job or really added to your trip by giving them a tip. We're often asked about the recommended amount. It's a tricky one, and down to personal preference, but we'd recommend between £15 to £20 per person per week as a guideline
Local crew
Although entirely voluntary, tipping is a recognized part of life in this region of the world. Some local staff will look to members of the group for personal recognition of particular services provided. In order to make things easier for you, your leader may organise a group's tips kitty for included activities and meals and if this is the case, they will account for it throughout the tour.
Accordingly, you should allow GBP40, approx. 3'400 Indian Rupees for group tipping.
For all non-included services and meals on your trip please tip independently at your discretion.

Food and drink

Foreign Exchange
Local currency
Indian Rupee Recently new 500 and 2000 rupee notes have been bought in to circulation and as the old notes are no longer accepted there have been some cash flow issues. You don't need to worry about being given old notes as it's very easy to tell the difference, the new notes are pristine in comparison with most Indian money which is fairly tatty.
Recommended Currency For Exchange
GBP/US$ are the best currency to change into local currency.
Where To Exchange
The Indian rupee is a restricted currency and it is best not to obtain in the UK as rates are very poor. You can either change money at the airport on arrival or in major towns during the tour. Your Tour Leader will advise you on the best places in each town. Both GBP and USD cash are easy to exchange at the airport and at hotels however you will be restricted to changing £60 cash at a time and it's not possible to change money at these locations using a credit or debit card.
ATM Availability
ATMs are available in most large cities in India but they are very limited elsewhere so please do not rely on this.
Credit Card Acceptance
Very rarely, only in the larger outlets.

Accommodation notes

Accommodation in India is as varied as the country itself and standards might not always meet those back home.
Service can be slow, especially when travelling with a group and a number of hotels in India don't serve alcohol due to complicated licencing laws or for religious reasons. Hot water is not always available at small properties and with a group staying, you might find the water is cooler if you're showering last. Hotels also don't usually have heating, so it can become chilly in the winter months, however, blankets will always be provided.
Due to the growth in tourism in India, it's not always possible to stay at our listed accommodation and an alternative will be found.
On the backwaters, we stay on traditional houseboats made from anjili wood and bamboo, a time-honoured form of transportation. These are set up with twin-share en-suite cabins that are air-conditioned at night. The houseboat has a large dining area where homecooked meals are served up and a large deck to enjoy riverside life on. At night, we'll moor amongst other boats at the side of the river to allow us to hook up to electricity. Note, depending on the group size, we might be divided between two or three houseboats.
On this trip, we'll spend three nights camping on the Western Ghats - a simple but rewarding experience. We'll sleep in two-man Apluine-brand Indian tents. These will be set up and broken down each day by our camp crew. Thick foam sleeping mattresses (5cm thick) are provided but you'll need to bring your own three-seasons sleeping bag. There is a kitchen and a mess tent as well as a field toilet tent. Water for washing is provided in buckets.
