Unlike organizing other trips and outings, here you need not worry for making travel arrangements, picking up necessary things and other. We arrange it for you all and we have all the necessary items like Tents, Rain-coats, sports utilities etc etc Malnad ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malnad ) (Areas in this region of Western Ghats are popularly called as malnad) has a very rich food culture and it’s the best opportunity to taste the same.
