You stay in a tree house at a family spice plantation amongst virgin rainforests and mist-clad mountains, the homeland of indigenous tribal communities. Venture on jeep and boat safaris through Nagarhole National Park, famous for protecting large herds of wild elephant and other animals of the jungle. Continue traveling south through Kerala towards the Arabian Sea and the lush backwaters of the Malabar.
