SPICE TRAILS OF KERALA
For me this was an introduction to India. During the trekking partof the holiday, I saw areas of wild beauty, closely connected with a farmed rural landscape. The luxury of the house boat on the waterways of Kerala, enabled us to see traditional life without feeling intrusive.The fod was a vegetarian’s dream.
Most Inspirational Moment
Our walk through miles of lemon grass in Tamil Nadu and seeing the craggy peak of Meesapulima, through whispy clouds. We had previously climbed Meesapulima from the soft grassy Keralan side and the change in its appearance and the terrains marked the difference between the territories in a dramatic way. The Sri Meenakshi temple at Madurai was an assault on the senses. There was loud beating music, smells of Jasmine and incense, emotive pilgrims dancing, all existing together with a museum and shops, within one of the most architecturally astonishing buildings I have seen. The intrically worked multi-coloured towers were astonishing in themselves. Outside in a rickshaw we thought we were being attacked until we realised we were being were showered in holy water.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was charming and delightful.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't forget to take antiseptic wash, sun cream and mosquito deterrent. With ample use of all three, I suffered no il efects from the trip.

The trip was well organised, the group we were with mixed well and the group leader worked hard making the holiday a great success.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Bali, what can you say, he made the holiday an experience and a pleasure, allowing us to appreciate the full wonders of India and at the same time learn about the more subtle parts of the religion, politics and every day life of Indians today and in the past.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and it definitely ticked all the boxes. I discovered that Exodus has changed a lot since my last trip 23 years ago (!). I was pleasantly surprised by how soft camping has become (chairs!?!) and struck how old the group were. Having said that, age is just a number. Our group was without exception fit and good fun. I worked out that when not camping I would rather stay in a boutique hotel, but one can always pick on detail.

Thoughts on Group Leader
I was initally sceptical as he did not walk with us and seemed quite remote from us. However as the trip wore on and I had discovered a complete inability to order and receive a cup of tea within two hours (delivered to me at my table - not someone else's bedroom!), I realised he was nothing short of a miracle worker in getting buses, hotels, porters etc to perform correctly and on time. Respect!
Advice for Potential Travellers

a good mix of walking, sightseeing and relaxing made this a very enjoyable holiday. Wonderful to get off the beaten track in the Western Ghats and to experience this area of India.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Looked after our every need and made sure everything ran to plan. Ashok went out of his way to make sure we had everything that we needed.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It was warm in the daytime, but take layers of clothing so that you can keep warm at camp at night.
