We had a memorable birding & herping trip with the warm guiding duo - Hadlee and Seegirl in Munnar. They were well organised, informative and spent time helping us learn photography. We had the best time getting to know them, sharing experiences, learning from them and making friends for life. We can't wait to come back soon!

Our guide, Hadlee Renjith was a wonderfully knowledgeable source of information about the flora and fauna of Munnar. He met our group of around 30 people in Kochi and drove with us up to Munnar. He was extremely considerate of the physical abilities and attention spans of the wide range of ages (from 2 yrs old to 65+) of our group. He was a flexible, informative and fun guide!

I went to Munnar for a couple of days only. I went on an evening walk and a morning walk for birding with Renjith Hadlee. It was an amazing experience. The bird sightings were better than expected, and we got to see a Nilgiri Marten to top it all!!
Pre-arrival experience: Given the ongoing impact of COVID, I wanted to stay in a safe, but basic accommodation. I needed to find such a place to stay, and I needed to know the requirements for entry into Kerala and the local testing centre. Hadlee gladly and swiftly helped with all the information. Before the evening walk on my first day, I headed out for shopping, again aided by the info provided by Hadlee. It was later that I got to know he was managing all this and the trip itself while dealing with a personal emergency. Kudos to his spirit and commitment!!
Birding walks experience: Hadlee knows the area and the birds quite well – identifying at ease, both visually and by calls. He was great at spotting and following birds through the dense undergrowth. He tries to do as much as possible to help one sight, photograph and learn about birds, pleasantly, along with his strong ethical code. He spotted a pair of eagles on a tall hill and then encouraged me to get closer for having a better look at the birds. Although we didn’t climb much as it was getting dark, we got a sighting of a lifetime when he spotted a Nilgiri Marten on the hill.
He has a presence that puts one at ease. He is a keen listener and actively tries to learn from his guests. One could have just sat and had a chat with him about Munnar and still not feel bad about missing a birding session.
I got to know that Resplendent Experiences conduct various types of tours, including herping tours. I am looking forward to my next trip with them.
