Ratings & Authentic Feedback
Pure magic above the clouds at 7,900 ft!
The 4:30 AM jeep ride was bumpy but our driver Vijayan was masterful. Watching the sun breach through the clouds over Tamil Nadu with steaming ginger tea in hand was an experience we will cherish forever. The 1935 tea factory tour was fascinating.
Best sunrise trek in South Asia
As a solo photographer, having Manoj point out the exact ridge angle for the sunrise was priceless. Unspoiled nature and true respect for the tea workers.
Kids loved the jeep off-road and factory
Our teenagers were thrilled by the rugged dirt tracks. Wrap up warm as it was 8 degrees before dawn. The fresh orthodox tea at the estate canteen was the highlight.
The Roller Coaster rapid lived up to its name!
Captain Dinesh made sure safety was paramount while delivering maximum thrill. The cliff jump from 25 feet into the ice-cold Ganga was heart-pounding. Best rafting in India hands down.
Terrifying 3 seconds, incredible euphoria after!
The Jump Masters from New Zealand were calm and instilled 100% confidence. Leaping into the Mohan Chatti canyon is something everyone must do once in their life. Got my certificate framed!
Drifting over Amer Fort at dawn was royal splendor
Worth every single rupee. Flying at 2,000 ft as the Aravali hills glowed pink and gold. Smooth landing in a mustard field where villagers came out to greet us. Champagne toast was exquisite.
