I Went Trekking in KERALA | India on a Budget

Welcome back to Munnar, a hill station situated in Kerala, India. Join me as I try to navigate this place while being on a budget! In this second episode, we trade expensive tours for DIY explorations, starting with a sunrise jeep trek to Kolukkumalai. We also tackle the Chokramudi Peak hike, enlisting the help of unexpected hiking buddies Leo and Fred, the official guide dogs of Chokramudi. Despite being the third-highest peak in Kerala, the trail remains uncrowded, offering a secluded gem away from mass tourism. Join us as we discover the magic of Munnar's lesser-known treasures without breaking the bank.

*Disclaimer:* While India is often considered a budget-friendly destination, especially for Western travelers, my budget is on the very low end. I'm not trying to promote irresponsible or exploitative travel, but rather to showcase that meaningful travel experiences are possible even with limited resources. I'm committed to supporting the local economy whenever possible throughout my journey.

In this video, you'll see:
*Sunrise Jeep Trek to Kolukkumalai: Experience what it’s like to watch the sunrise from this spot - a classic Munnar experience.
*Trek to Chokramudi Peak: Witness the diverse landscapes, from grassy stretches to dense jungle and rocky trails, culminating in stunning panoramic views of the region.
*Budget travel in action: Learn how I navigated local transportation, found affordable accommodation, and explored Munnar on a limited budget.
