Subject to quick turnaround of a biz visa will be heading to Kochi late next week - work will only allow 1/2 - 2/3 of a day at the end before I need to fly back out of India. Suggestions pls of where to spend the time..

Thanks in advance

I really enjoyed Thattekad Bird Sanctuary. It may be hard to get to for a 1/2 or 2/3 of a day. But it was the place that got me hooked on birding.

Hi Viator,
I don't know if this reply is too late, but have a look at my report and if you're thinking of hiring a guide, then you couldn't do better than Eldhose. He's highly knowledgeable and his rates are very reasonable.

You can read all about it on india.coolbirding.com

Happy birding and let us know how you get on.

Managed to get all day at Thattekad yesterday - an amazing place and many endemics/near-endemics in a very enjoyable day.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have been hearing a lot about this place called Thattekad. Will definitely make it a point to visit there if I travel to Kerala.
