Chennai, Birding with Spotting Scope & Photography 2-3 hours

The fascinating world of birding

I had a delightful introductory bird watching trip with my friend Subramanian Sankar who led me on a 3 hour nature walk in a little known birding site near Pallikaranai. It was a revelation to be with Subbu who introduced me to the rich diversity of birds around us, peppering it with information of what it was doing, its normal habits and even how it got its name! Subbu also asked me to listen actively and identified the birds from their calls. I will never forget the Drongo or Weaver bird or even the Ashy Prina that Subbu identified for me. He had all the equipment from a couple of binoculars to a field scope. For me, who is a busy executive, with a packed schedule, this trip was more than birding - it was a whole new sensory experience and a world away from staid office work. Thanks to Subbu for his expert, yet gentle introduction to the world of birds.

South India Tour- Temple Architecture and Backwaters

A fantastic introduction to India

Our whole Indian adventure was planned by Gets. We did the Golden Triangle. Delhi Agra and Jaipur and then flew to Kochi and visited some amazing places in Kerala. Port Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Allepey and Marari Beach. The whole trip was excellent. Mr Santosh and Mr Azhar organised everything for us. From first contacting them, they were always there for us. Communication with them was excellent and we felt they really looked after us. We told them what we wanted to do and they planned the trip for us, booking the hotels and the activities. All the guides they provided and the drivers were excellent and on the Indian roads you need to feel you are in safe hands, and we did. A special thanks to Anil in the north who drove us around the golden triangle in a calm measured manner. Also in Kerala our fabulous driver Noufel who was our driver, guide and friend. They were never late for anything and always so helpful and patient especially when we slipped into shops for a look and ended up being there for much longer. In Delhi our guide was Sunil whose knowledge and photography was second to none. In Jaipur and Agra we had the amazing Sagar who showed us around and took us to fabulous restaurants. Thank you Sagar. The hotels they booked for us were all great - we enjoyed them all. Thank you Gets holidays for giving us a trip of a lifetime. I would (and already have done) recommend you to anyone planning an Indian trip. I have travelled a lot and with many different good tour companies but I can honestly say this is the best company I’ve travelled with.
