I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to everyone for making this cycling challenge the most successful and memorable ride this charity has ever undertaken. The route, the organisation, accommodation, food and team were perfect.

I just wanted to say thank you for making our hike a magical experience. Our guide Vipin was fantastic. So helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, happy to do anything to enhance our experience. He deserves a gold medal for his efforts.  

Thank you for the lifelong experience. The itinerary designed by Kalypso Adventures allowed for was well thought out and allowed for a multi-facetted experience. We loved the variety of activities offered on this tour “hiking, kayaking, cycling “ and the introduction it gave us to different aspects of the Keralan landscape and culture. Highlights included seeing wild elephants and gaurs in Periyar NP, hiking up the second highest peak in the Western Ghats, visiting the world’s highest tea estate and gaining some insight into village life. Our very knowledgeable guide, Vipin, and our skillful and friendly driver, Manuj, ensured that we had a most enjoyable and memorable time in beautiful Kerala. 

 "Myself and my wife joined two other cyclists and we were guided by Ratan and Jeffen.In essence, we had a wonderful time on this holiday.The cycling was well tailored to our abilities and the fact that there was always a back-up vehicle for us was a very important factor in our being able to relax and enjoy each day. It allowed, of course, people of different abilities to enjoy the same route and was a very welcome refuge particularly when the tropical heat got that bit too much for us. We were very pleased with the standard of the bicycles: this made the cycling much easier and the bikes were sturdy and well maintained: a big plus, as we did not know what to expect from the standard. We were more than happy. The accommodations we found varied and delightful: each one had a different strength and character and they were obviously chosen from experience. We were particularly impressed by the way the guides and your office dealt with our holiday very personally. We felt that we were in good hands and that our enjoyment was something that was important to you and you did not cut corners anywhere. We got on well with our guides who were always courteous, good-natured and well informed. Thank you for an enjoyable experience on our first trip to India. " - James (Tony) Maguire - 19-Mar-15 

It has been one of the best birding holidays I have ever been on. I'm seriously thinking to come back to India with the same company. I'd like to remark the excellent work of Peter as a guide, he's a fine birding guide and a very concerned tour leader about well-being of the clients. The trip has fulfilled my expectations. It was a trip focused on endemic birds from Western Ghats and I got 17 from a total of 18 possible species. It's a big success. The total list raised to 214 species, a high number to an 8 days trip.  

 " I was very, very impressed with Ratan throughout the tour. He is caring, considerate and very efficient, a true professional and a real asset to your company. I have worked as a customer service manager and staff trainer in the banking industry in the UK for over thirty years, and I have rarely met anyone to equal him. I only met Anup for one day, but my impressions of him were just as favourable. Mathew the driver was also excellent in every way. Helpful, informative, safe and very good company.And the efficiency of your whole organisation is superb. I hope to get the opportunity to travel with Kalypso again, and I shall recommend to my friends in the UK that they consider likewise. Thank you so much.Many, many thanks Thomas to you and your great team for a truly memorable trip to India."  David Hughes - 06-Mar-15
