World Challenge - The Edinburgh Group (Day 3)

Day 3 proved rather interesting in terms of sights to take in but was challenging as we spent almost 14 hours walking around.





The group's enthusiasm remained through it all and kept their spirits up. The group went through cardamom plantation and the Kalypso crew did a splendid job of teaching the group about tea-processing. Doubts and questions continued to be asked as we trekked through the plantation.




A long day of trekking and we finally reached our camp for the day Santhanpara...





Santhanpara is a picturesque village nestled among the dense forests of Idukki District. It is about 30km from Munnar. The name Santhanpara is derived from the saint Santhamuni, who is believed to have meditated in this place.

Situated in the foothills of Western Ghats, the magnificent stretch of land with tea, pepper and cardomom beckons one into an aromatic and dreamy landscape. The mountains surrounding the place make it ideal for trekking and long walks.

Last day tomorrow! Looking forward to it!
Check our updates out regularly as we trek through Munnar!
