@DavidJarratt1 India. Truly spectacular. Just boarded an overnight train through the (dry) state of Kerala - fortunately though, it’s famous for tea plantations so not to worry, you can get a cuppa Tetley’s (tea) and have 4G - better than the Preston to Blackpool line!
@DavidJarratt1 And to you, Dave. I agree but I would say that the majority of independent trekkers feel this way too, in my view it’s not dependent on nationality. We certainly felt like this at times as it’s the big paying groups that have all the fun 😉
