Tips

If you’d like to extend the trip, add an extra day to explore Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary or enjoy a relaxing spa day at a nearby resort. To shorten the itinerary, you can skip the afternoon safari on Day 3 and spend more time at the homestay, which also reduces overall cost while still providing a comfortable, period‑friendly experience.
