The challenging early morning Meeshapulimala Trek and the picturesque Butterfly Forest Trek through the cardomom plantations and tribal colony was the choice of Louise and Nikki and they were more than happy after their trek.

It was our Annual Get Together on 6th August 2017 at Thattekad in Kerala, India. Known for it's picturesque beauty, Thattekad welcomed us with her monsoon shower, making the view, a much better one. But rain became a concern later as we had plans to kayak in the river and cycle through the plantations. Our staff are always optimistic and spontaneous such that they came up with Plan B! We conducted various fun games, distributed awards to the outstanding performers, visited a near by hanging bridge, played cricket and had some authentic yummy food throughout! It was indeed one of the best outings till date.
