Periyar - Periyar Tiger Trail

The Periyar Tiger Trails, one of the best experiences in the Periyar National Park, pave the way for a sure chance to spot a Tiger. It's a protection-oriented program led by reformed poachers who have transformed into guardians of the forest. Their intimate knowledge of the terrain ensures a safe and enriching experience.

The Periyar Tiger Trails is for pure nature lovers with a moderate level of fitness, who would be willing to tread along the forest path enjoying the beauty of nature at her depth. Remember, this is a group activity with a maximum of six participants, accompanied by experienced guides and armed forest guards for safety.

The trail offers a choice between a two-day or a three-day itinerary. As you embark on this adventure, be prepared for a thrilling traverse through hills and valleys. The trek difficulty varies based on the chosen route, ranging from 20 to 35 Km. But the reward is unparalleled – a night spent under a canopy of stars, nestled in a comfortable tent amidst the symphony of the jungle.

After the trek through the forest is over you will be given food that will be freshly cooked in front of you and only just for you. No luxury hotel in the world can beat this food as you get to dine under a sky of million stars with the murmur of the stream, hustle of leaves and the gentle breeze that wafts through the clean air.

The Periyar Tiger Trail isn't just about tigers, although spotting this magnificent predator is a distinct possibility. The diverse ecosystem boasts a wealth of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for the playful Nilgiri Langur monkeys, the majestic elephants, and the elusive giant squirrels. The program prioritizes responsible tourism, ensuring minimal impact on the delicate forest ecosystem.

The Periyar Tiger Trail plays a crucial role in protecting the park's vulnerable areas by providing livelihood opportunities for reformed poachers. It raises awareness about the importance of preserving the park's rich biodiversity and encouraging responsible tourism practices.
