Periyar Tiger Trail: A Wilderness Trek Unlike Any Other
The Special Experience of the Periyar Tiger Trail
The Periyar Tiger Trail is a very different trekking experience from all other treks in India. It is more than a walking tour of the jungle with an experienced guide; it is an organized expedition to one of the most ecologically diverse wildlife parks in India. The uniqueness of this trek is that it is conducted by past poachers turned guardians of the forest, with their intimate knowledge of the jungle to provide an adventure that is authentic and yet safe for all participants.
This program is offered in two lengths: a 1-night/2-day trekking experience, ideal for those who crave a flavor of jungle life without compromising comfort, and a 2-night/3-day trek, a deeper dive suited for experienced trekkers and wildlife enthusiasts looking to penetrate deep into the forest. Both options allow you to witness the sheer splendor of Periyar Tiger Reserve, which harbors a range of wildlife such as elephants, gaurs, wild boars, Malabar giant squirrels, and even the rare Bengal tiger.
