Multi day walks (hiking trips) through rural, often rugged, mountainous territory.
On Sunday we woke to rain, which didn’t bode well for our ‘rest day’, a 15km trek in the Periyar Tiger Reserve. Fortunately the rain was warm, but it soon stopped so we didn’t really need to carry our waterproof coats and trousers all day!
The next day, Thursday, we cycled from Pollachi for 50km through very fertile farmlands. At one point we stopped and chatted to a couple of ladies weaving screens from palm leaves. They aim to weave about 100 in a day and they will get paid 500 rupees. They looked very happy in their task.
Rain stops play in a spectacular canyon in Sardinia...
We’d saved the best till last…
After a week in Cusco we were excited to get away from the busy city and to see more of the countryside.
