Sultan's Last Sigh!

Locations covered: Wayanad

Description:

In Wayanad, encounter Andy Warhol’s theory of 15 minutes of fame. For here, the road to celebrity Ville begins with the elephant. Everyone, almost everyone has an elephant tale to tell. Elephant wisdom to disseminate; elephant theories to propound and an I-don’t-know-how-I-lived-to-tell-you-this-encounter with an elephant.

Bathery town [Or Sultan’s Battery, the last outpost of the district] is perhaps just another small town in Kerala but it was also where The Mysore Raja was beaten back by the British. Behind it is the jungle and it's amidst the confines of the jungle that we operate. So that it comes alive in a manner that extends beyond more than elephant stories…

For Wayanad is also a treasure trove of natural history and a home to a tribal way of life. Our package allows the traveller to see and feel and more importantly experience Wayanad. From the pre historic cave paintings at Edakkal to plantations to river trails and trekking routes to wild life safaris to, each and every aspect is carefully chosen to introduce its multiple dimensions.

How this trip will benefit local community and environment:

Spice tours were initiated to support small time farmers and spice planters in and around Wayanad areas to find alternative, supplementary source of income. This provides a glimpse of the issues surrounding the struggles of spice farmers in terms of price crash and issues of globalization.

Second day is focused on the natural and social environment we live in. Visit to Rainforest Garden involves interaction with community who initiated the rainforest regeneration and the later half of the visit benefits the community living in the alternative school campus.

This trip also benefits the non profit groups that assist the locals in training in various livelihood programs. Wildlife safari is organized in association with the Eco Development Committees and the benefits and directly handed over to the guides and trackers from indigenous tribes. All the trackers and assistants for the trekking are locals.
