The Prize

Enjoy the holiday of a lifetime for two to Southern India.

This nine-day trip for two people takes in three different locations, including a visit to a Street Child project as well as the chance to see of the most famous tourist destinations in the south.

Three days and nights staying with Paul, the founder & CEO of the Street Child charity in Chennai, visiting their programs. Breakfast & lunch are included, and day trip to the beach and the 7th century carvings at Mahabalipuram.

Next, you will travel by night train to Mettupalayam and take the famous Nilgiri mountain steam train to Ooty, the beautiful hill town favoured by the colonial Brits. You will enjoy a three day/night stay at Smyrna Guest House, a heritage property in Ooty where you will be provided with your own driver and car.

Your driver will take you through the Bandipur National Park to Mysore, famous for its golden palace. On your drive through the park you will be able to spot deer, elephants and a huge variety of birds. If you are lucky you might just see some leopards and tigers, too.

Your driver will leave you at Royal Orchid Metropole, a 5-star heritage hotel in Mysore, where you will enjoy a 2-night bed & breakfast stay and 2 days jumping in a tuk tuk to visit the nearby palace and other famous temples, palaces and markets.

From Mysore it’s a 3 hour drive to Bangalore where you can catch a flight to the UK or to your next destination in India.

Please Note:

This is a flexible holiday – you can combine it with other places and it is valid up to the end of 2023
Experience includes all accommodation and a driver in Chennai & Ooty (including airport and train station transfers) and meals as stated
If you wish to go in December or during the Mysore Dasara festival in early October, there would be a premium

The Cause

Street Child United is a UK charity using the power of sport, specifically international sports events, to change the negative perceptions and treatment of street-connected children everywhere.

Their mission is to tackle the widespread stigma street-connected children face and raise awareness and understanding of their situation, so they are protected, respected and supported to realise their fullest potential.

In the run-up to big sporting competitions, like the FIFA World Cup, Olympics and Cricket World Cup, Street Child United organises sporting events for street-connected children. They bring international teams to the host country to compete, make their voices heard and change the way the world sees and treats street children.
