Viaggio nel Kerala per Birdwatching e non solo: Thanks to the organization of Tropic Trails, our trip to Kerala was truly memorable, intense and exciting. the areas visited are: Thattekad, Munnar, Chinnar, and Periyar gave us breathtaking views such as the hills carpeted with tea plantations, the great competence and professionalism of our guide Anoop guaranteed us interesting sightings exclusive only to those areas visited with a total of over 150 sightings. The variety of environments made each of our days unique and never repetitive. SWU’s advice on where to buy and what to buy was also very interesting, so as to bring home a bit of the flavors and culture of India in this case of the Kerala district. They didn’t just point out the shops, first they showed us the tea plantations and especially the spice plantations. The things they explained to us were really very interesting. A truly very intense journey which ended in the waters of the Backwaters, sailing between the canals where you can see all their customs from taking care of the body to brushing the teeth and doing the laundry. For a total vision of Kerala we are also given a stop at the sea with its immense beaches always crowded with Egrets with eagles circling on the blue sky and a visit to the city of Kochi together with Abid who is also very good and professional so much so that before immersing ourselves in the history of Kochi took us to the rice fields to see other examples of birds. the PERFECT organization, with transfers that were not too long and without problems, which was guaranteed by the skill and expertise of our driver Santosh who was always very attentive to driving and very punctual, excellent accommodation and excellent quality food made this trip an incredibly exciting and unforgettable experience. Thanks from us. Massimo, Cristina, Patrizia and Antonello.
