Guest reviews
Stunning trek route
The trek route is great that had moderate to tough paths. The trek seemed not so tough with the help of our friendly guides Nanthakumar anna and Gowtham anna. The food is also fine. Loved the forest and the rivers on the way. The guides took care of our needs so well. Thanks to both of them and Gopi anna for helping us arrange the trip.

pvt to mh
We had an amazing experience. It was a perfectly paced trek. One of the hidden gems. One must experience this wonderful trek with lush green forests, beautiful valleys, river crossings and some wild animal sightings. Mr Gopi was very informative, humble and caring through out the trek. Along with him nandakumar and pushpa raj were helpful too. Cons : Food is not up to the mark for the fee that is charged. Also no accommodation is provided, it becomes difficult to travel from ooty early morning.
