Otherwise Known As:
“The Mountain Goats”
Message to Venturers:
This is your chance to see some stunning scenery. It will test your endurance to the full but is also going to be such a laugh. Don’t feel overwhelmed: it will certainly be a challenge, but is do-able. Just be prepared.
Introduction to the project:
Get ready to face the greatest challenge of the moment and what you will get in return is an experience not to be missed. You’ll be trekking through privately owned tea plantations and up the second highest mountain in Southern India, then cycling and lastly canoeing in the backwaters of Kerala.
Brief Description of where the Venturers will be living:
Home will be your camp that you must make along the way. You will be sleeping in tents by the campfire, creating and breaking camp every day.
What are the highlights of the project:
The journey is long with highlights throughout. This will probably be the biggest challenge of your life. It is also the perfect opportunity to see a diverse range of wildlife and in particular, monkeys in abundance!
What else will be happening on the project:
The tea plantations and national parks you will be visiting offer a diverse cultural experience with all the sights and smells of the “real India” that a tourist trail could not buy. Other plans include a possible trip to a tea factory and plenty of time in the evenings for rest, relaxation and reflection around the campfire with only the stars above you.
Don’t leave Fieldbase without:
Your platypus water bag, blister plasters, puritabs, a sense of humour and a can-do attitude!
