We have just come back from the two week wildlife and birding tour of Southern India with Kalypso. In short it was amazing! Everything was well organised and our guide, Joji, was knowledgeable, patient and very hard working. We managed to see 30 mammal species during the trip, a number of them endemic to the region, and the bird life and scenery we absolutely stunning. Highly recommended! 

I couldn't recommend Kalypso Adventures enough. We booked their 8 day e-bike Kerala tour and it didn't disappoint in any way. The bikes were in excellent condition and the set-up was very slick. Roger, our guide, was brilliant and had so much knowledge to share of Kerala, its people, customs and wildlife. We were also supported by Rajiv, our support vehicle driver who was always there when you needed him.

There were plenty of refreshment stops along the way and you always got to your hotel around lunchtime, leaving the afternoon at your leisure. It just worked perfectly.

The booking communications was also excellent and all the transfers worked seamlessly.

The hotels were quite varied but were all comfortable and clean.

Cycling around the backroads, through forests and along the canals was the best way to experience this stunningly beautiful state - you see so much more and get away from the touristy parts. 

We thank you for the marvellous trip we had in India with Anoop, especially thanks to Thomas, for your perfect organisation and your availability.

We 've seen 215 species of birds and 31 mammals!! Amazing!.Of course it was thanks to Anoop, our very competent guide who took care of us and gave the best for us. We were lucky with the reopening entry to Nagarhole NP, a beautiful reserve indeed, even if we didn't see the tiger,. But we could hear it roaring at MUDUMALAI. We saw all nightjars and so many owls, owlets and scops...

Restaurants and hotels were perfect, very comfortable 

We want to write to you and thank you for a very good trip to Kerala and Karnataka!
The setup was perfect. We appreciated our guide Jijo very much. Nice, knowledgeable and committed. Jijo is one of the best guides we have had over the years, on birding trips.
Our driver ”Nicky” also did a very good job. He drove calmly and safely. He was always pleasant and service-minded.

It was sad that the tiger reserves were closed, but we got to see Baloo up close and a lot of other mammals.
The bird list amounted to 278 species, which we were very pleased with. We saw almost all the endemic birds. 

I wanted to write this to thank you and the team for an amazing experience in India! I cannot praise your two team members Vineeth and Das enough. They were truly amazing and supported our every need before we even asked. The organisation was great, the hotels were great, the food, the bikes and everything else - all top class.
And India is an amazing country - full of colour and warm friendly faces welcoming us every day. Hopefully in the future I will make it back to India and of course I will plan with Kalypso Adventures. 

The guide Joji was superb, through his expert guidance we saw 228 species of bird, 198 of which were lifers for me! He was quick at finding species with an expert eye and ear for all birds. The accommodation and food in each place were brilliant. Also the tour benefited the local people at the sanctuaries visited.
