2 ITINERARY in South Asia, with over 1,000 species of flowers and plants. Accommodation: The Paul, Bangalore (1 night) Meals included: L & D Day 3: to Mysore via Srirangapatna Our journey begins. We travel southwest to the enchanting city of Mysore (officially Mysuru) via the 18 th century island fortress of Srirangapatna. Sandwiched between the Arabian Sea and the lush Western Ghats, our itinerary treats you to scenes of untouched southern India. We ve avoided the touristy far south, and taken you instead on a connoisseur s walking tour, to discover some lesser known jewels. Our explorations take us through Mysore with its charm and colourful markets, to the wildlife havens of Nagarhole and Wayanad, and to the city of Kochi, with its wealth of culture and history. This is the perfect introduction to the rich beauty and culture of southern India. The perfect mix of walks and sightseeing. Walks range from 3-6 miles (5-9½km) and include historical city tours, jungle walking safaris, village strolls and scenic spice trails. Day 1: Departure from the UK Day 2: Arrival day On arrival we transfer to our accommodation. Due to the planned arrival time of the overnight flight, rooms will be available early morning. After lunch, your local guide will accompany you to the Lalbagh (Red Garden) Botanical Gardens situated in southern Bangalore. This is one of the most diverse botanical gardens The Srirangapatna fort was built surrounding an 8 th century Gangadeshwara temple. The grounds would later become the site of the downfall of the ruler Tipu Sultan, who was killed here in 1799 when the British attacked at the battle of Srirangapatna. We take a guided walk through some of the remaining areas of the fort, including the temple, gun store and the dungeons, an interesting insight into history, religion and culture (2½ hrs leisurely walking). Leaving the site, we continue to the royal city of Mysuru, known for its palaces, flower markets, and sandalwood factories. The city first prospered under the rule of the Maharaja, who built flamboyant palaces, and frequently entertained guests. 2 Call or visit hfholidays.co.uk
3 Accommodation: Hotel Metropole, Mysuru (1 night) Day 4: to Nagarhole Later we ll take a boat safari on the Kabini reservoir. This is a great opportunity for birdwatching and to hopefully spot some animals which come to the water to drink. Wild elephants are often seen on the opposite shores, as are bison and spotted deer. If we re lucky, we may spot leopard, and hear the roar of tigers in the evening. Accommodation: The Bison (2 nights) An early start this morning as we take a walking tour of the city, an excellent introduction to the wonderfully rich culture of southern India. Our walk includes a visit to the local market, with the intense scent of jasmine, which is used to make the colourful garlands sold here (2 hrs leisurely walking). We ll also visit the spectacular Mysore Palace with a local guide. We continue our journey, leaving the city for the tranquillity and greenery of rolling countryside. We drive to the stunning setting of our accommodation, on the banks of the Kabini reservoir, in Nagarhole sanctuary, once the hunting reserve of the Maharaja. Day 5: Nagarhole Sanctuary An early start this morning, as this is the best time to spot animals. We ll explore the local area with a walk through the tribal villages at the edge of the sanctuary to observe their daily life. We return along the Kabini river banks. Distance: 4 miles (6km), leisurely walking over c.2½ hours. In the afternoon, we ll take a jeep safari into Nagarhole sanctuary an opportunity, hopefully, to spot some big cats. This evening we enjoy our dinner by the campfire, listening to stories from the local naturalist. Day 6: to Wayanad Today we travel to the cool green hills of Wayanad. En route we stop at the Kuruva islands on the Kabini River and we ll walk through local villages, forests and picturesque paddy fields, taking the opportunity to interact with the tribal communities who live in the area if possible. Your guide will be able to identify and point out several species of flora and fauna to you during your walk. 3 Call or visit hfholidays.co.uk
4 The trail then continues uphill, before the last 200m leads us to our lunch spot Frog Rock (or thavala para in Malayalam). The views here are superb. After lunch, we follow the trail downhill, winding through rainforest and coffee and pepper plantations, back to our start point. Distance: approx. 4 miles (6km) with little ascent and some undulating sections and areas that are uneven underfoot. Enjoy lunch at a local home: typically, this is an ela sadya, a Keralan multi-course vegetarian meal served on banana leaves, to give you a true taste of the area. We then head to our restored colonial bungalow set inside a 4,000-acre working tea estate. Accommodation: Plantation Experiences, Wayanad (2 nights) Day 7: Wayanad, Banasura Foothills The morning drive (approx 1hr) will take you to the foothills of the Banasura range. The initial part of the trail skirts a small rural community before the pockets of shola forest start. There is plenty of flora and fauna to take in, aided by your guides. Dramatic views of the Banasura mountains open around every corner and before long we ll arrive at a forest clearing. Day 8: to Kozhikode As the morning mist rises from the lush forest floor, we begin our plantation walk at the Edom Estates. Edom is a 150-acre coffee and spice plantation and our walk through the fields of spices, tea, coffee and paddy gives us the opportunity to learn about their production and that of a variety of other spices such as pepper, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cocoa and vanilla. Our walk also gives us an insight to local life as we wander along the pathways through the villages. Distance: 2½ miles (4km) over approx. 1½ hours. We leave the serenity and greenery of the hills and begin our journey to the bustling streets of Kozhikode (Calicut), where we visit the ancient boat building yards of Beypore (45 minutes). Accommodation: The Raviz, Kozhikode (1 night). 4 Call or visit hfholidays.co.uk
5 Day 9: to Allepey Kozhikode has been a centre of trading for over 2,000 years. This morning, we ll explore the ancient spice and handicraft markets before boarding the train to Alleppey. Kozhikode is well off the tourist trail and gives us a snapshot of local city life as we explore its colourful, bustling streets. This is a leisurely city walk of approx 1½ hours. We begin an enchanting cruise through the serene backwaters, a labyrinth of shimmering lagoons and lakes. There is no walking today; instead we have plenty of time to sit back and observe local life on the banks of the lagoons as we cruise by. The train journey to Alleppey takes approx. 5 hours and gives us a different vantage point from which to see and enjoy the Keralan countryside. We travel in air-conditioned carriages to Kochi and can relax and watch life go by. We then transfer by bus (approx. 1.5 hours) to our luxury accommodation. Accommodation: Kumarakom Lake Resort (2 nights) Day 10: Free Day Today we have time to enjoy the stunning setting of our resort. If you re an early bird, you might like to attend an open-air yoga session, which runs daily. Mid-morning, we take a leisurely walk to the local villages where our guide introduces us to the fishing communities that have lived here for eras (approx. 1½ hrs). Afterwards we have time to relax: perhaps enjoy a Ayurveda massage that the resort specialises in (payable locally), or spend some time spotting the many species in the butterfly garden before another short, leisurely walk in the evening as the sun sets (approx 1½ hrs). Day 11: Cruising the backwaters Our boat is modelled on the traditional Keralan kettuvallum houseboats, once used to ply the backwaters loaded with rice and other staples. The backwaters here are unique to Kerala, and our evening aboard our luxury houseboat affords us the perfect way to experience this environment. Accommodation: luxury houseboat (1 night). Day 12: to Kochi We travel the short distance to Kochi today and explore charming Fort Kochi on foot with a guided tour discovering the Portuguese, Dutch and British influences dating back 400 years. On arrival in Kochi a short visit takes us to the Mattanchery Dutch Palace museum, and Jewtown synagogue before our check in. After lunch we explore the area with another guided walk, taking in sites including the Dutch Cemetery, St Francis church, the Bishop s house, and the iconic Chinese fishing nets. 5 Call or visit hfholidays.co.uk
