    I was excited for my first camping experience to Yelagiri but was bit apprehensive on how it would be. It turned out to be the best experience ever. The tents and washrooms were very neat. The camp managers Raghu and Sanjay were easily approachable, friendly and accommodating. They helped us with what we want and were taking very good care of the tribe. They helped us a lot during the trek and very encouraging so that all of us could have an unforgettable experience! The adventure sports was so much fun and thrilling too! Looking forward to the next trek with tentntrek!

    I wish I had read the previous review before I booked - but I was using my mobile and not paying much attention. I think the instructors are ok but the facilities are awful.

    They used open boats with no seats. We had a rough ride out sitting on the bottom of the boat sloshing with water and getting drenched with sea spray. There is nowhere to keep anything dry and then you sit out in the sun for most of the trip and get burnt. Luckily I put on some sunscreen but my legs got badly burnt. And don't rely on the umbrella they give you as it doesn't stop the sun.

    On our second dive we found our boat anchor sitting on the bottom with no ropes attached. I took on my dive guide's weight belt and he carried the anchor around. Not surprisingly this was not a long or fun dive. Back on the boat in the hot sun they had brought a 1 litre bottle of water to share and a watermelon.

    I did 2 days diving in Goa and the price was similar but the facilities and servicing were much better. Suggest you just DON'T do it in Chennai.
