Explore the wild in the night.Try the limits of your senses-sight,hearing and smell and take in the totally different world of nocturnal jungle life. This programme is part of the regular night patrolling in the fringe ecodevelopment zones of the tiger reserve. By participating in this, one is actually helping in the protection of the forests of Periyar.
The trekking could be at any time between 7 pm. and 4 am. and could be taken by persons having proper physical and mental fitness to trek through the wilderness in the night. The maximum duration for a slot is 3 hours and the maximum capacity of one slot is limited to 8 visitors (to move in two separate teams). They will accompany two protection watchers and one armed forest guard!
Visitors who are medically fit and aged between 15 - 65 are advised to take the tiger trail. Visitors should be serious nature lovers willing to sacrifice some of the luxuries and comforts of a hotel.
Note:
Only recommended for physically and mentally strong persons with power of observation to sense the animals and birds during dark nights.
Timing - 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm , 10.00pm to 1.00 am
