Chances are high if you opt for a Tiger Trail program at <strong>Periyar [Thekkady]<\/strong>. It is conducted by the Periyar forest authority. Tiger Trail is a physically demanding activity as it involves a long trek ranging from 25 to 35 km through the Periyar forest. Only 5 visitors are allowed at a time. You will be accompanied by 5 trained forest guides and 2 forest officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The program will be either 1 1-night or 2 2-night program as per the demand of the guests. The trek starts in the morning at 9 am and ends either the next day by noon or the day after. You would be camping in the middle of the jungle. Tents are carried for the same. Since this is an adventure activity, you would have to compromise on amenities and food as well. Please do not expect luxury. Only vegetarian food is served, which is prepared by the guides. It is not guaranteed you will spot a tiger; however, it is for sure you will come across a lot of elephants, bison and other residents of the wild.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bamboo Rafting<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bamboo Rafting is the most in-demand activity for nature lovers and adventure travellers. A dawn-to-dusk program, it starts at 8 am and ends at 5 pm. Usually, a group of 10 travellers, along with 4 guides and an armed guard, set off for Bamboo Rafting. \u00a0Hop onto a wooden raft and float along the <strong>Periyar Lake.<\/strong> While floating, enjoy beautiful vistas of Periyar, and you will get to see deer, elephants, bison and many other wild animals on the banks of the lake.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Night Patrolling<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A great chance to explore the <strong>Periyar wildlife<\/strong>. It is held between 7 pm and 4 am. At a time, 8 people in 2 different groups are allowed for the program. Each group will be accompanied by an armed forest guard and 2 watchers. You get so close to nature, and you may come across giant wild elephants, bison and even a tiger.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jungle Jeep Safari<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One of the favourite activities for many, a jeep safari through the thick woods of Periyar is a must-experience activity. Opt for a 3-hour jeep safari conducted by the Periyar Wildlife Authority and enjoy an exciting drive through the jungle. You would come across a lot of wild animals and be exposed to some beautiful sights of the wild as you steer through the <strong>Periyar forest<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Border Hiking<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Border Hiking is a full-day trekking program at the Periyar forest starting from 8 am.
