The route we start from

These are the stages published for this trip. A stage can cover part of a day or several days; it is not a separate travel day.

1. Stage 01

   To Munnar

   Fly into Kochi and climb to Munnar, about four hours, with waterfalls beside the road most of the way in the wetter months. The gain is roughly 1,600 metres and the temperature falls with it, which after the coast is the first pleasure of the trip.

2. Stage 02

   Tea Day

   A dawn walk in the tea gardens while the mist is still in the folds of the hills, with a picker to explain what two leaves and a bud actually means in practice. The factory for the processing, and Top Station in the afternoon for the view into Tamil Nadu, cloud permitting.

3. Stage 03

   To Thekkady

   Across the ghats to Thekkady, about four hours through cardamom country. A spice plantation walk with a planter, who will make you smell and taste everything, then a Kathakali and Kalaripayattu evening: one is centuries-old dance-drama, the other a martial art, and both are performed properly here.

4. Stage 04

   Periyar

   Bamboo rafting on Periyar lake in the morning, which is silent, slow and the best chance of seeing elephants on the bank, since a raft does not announce itself the way a boat does. The standard lake cruise is the alternative for anyone who would rather not paddle.

5. Stage 05

   The Return

   Down to Kochi and the flight home. Four nights across two hill stations in the Western Ghats, one built on tea and one on spice, three hours apart and completely different in character.
