Trekking Areas

The Periyar Tiger Trail

This is a genuine ecotourism product, a protection oriented Adventurous Trekking and Camping Programme, in association with Kerala Forest Authority. The project is becoming an excellent idea because of the role played by the people involved, who were the ex-poachers, who used to plunder the forests mainly cutting the Cinnamon barks. In due course, they were converted into forest conservation work under India Ecodevelopment program.

The trekking programme, which is open throughout the year, is an excellent opportunity for serious nature lovers, professional adventurers and trekkers to explore the largest & well-known Periyar Wildlife sanctuary encompassing more than 777 sq km of diverse variety of forest and water bodies.
