Geocache Description:

When you land on Thulhagiri, you 'll feel it immediately: This is the ideal place to indulge in leisure, to learn the art of doing nothing but to enjoy - the white sandy beaches, the warm, iridescent blue water of the lagoon, the shady grove of palm trees and blooming bushes.

Or perhaps a little tour of the island with a 'happy ending'...


Ready for it? Then start at

Station 1: N 04° 18.647 E 73° 29.323

Number of lamps = A

Station 2: N 04° 18.653 E 73° 29.288
Here you often can see many colourful little 'main attractions' of the island coming together for breakfast or lunch or dinner - or a little snack in between.
* How many vertical metal pipes start in the concrete circle on the bottom of the feeding-hut?
Number of the vertical pipes = E

Number of the horizontal pipes = D

Thulhagiri has several beautiful little ponds. In the middle of this one is

Not all trees on Thulhagiri are palm trees, but all of them are special. For example, the two 'love trees' here carry fruits that are not their own.
* These fruits are called _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
Add the first and the third letter (A=1, Z=26) = B
* Here, these fruits are used as _ _ _ _ _.
Second letter (A=1, Z=26) = C

Station 5: N 04° 18.ABC E 73° 29.DEF

To find the final,

16,1,2 / 9,5,1 / 21,1,4 / 4,2,1 / 1,1,6 / 4,1,2 / 8,2,8 / 7,1,3 / 13,4,4 / 9,2,3 / 5,4,7 / 15,1,1 / 20,2,3 / 3,1,5 / 19,2,2 / 1,2,1 / 12,1,2 / 15,2,2 / 7,6,3 / 14,1,8 / 20,3,6 / 6,6,2 / - / 18,1,10 / 4,3,2 / 8,4,1 / 9,5,5
