Jungle Safari
40 Km from Periyar Tiger Reserve is the neighbouring Elephant Reserve. It is unique in that it is largely unknown by tourists, but offers, more or less, the same tropical forests and wildlife. In the Elephant Reserve you find Gavi where it is possible to stay, either in the only guest house (only 3 rooms) located in the Reserve or in the jungle camp.
The jungle safari is a full day programme that starts at 5.30am and ends at 5.30pm involving 40km by jeep (15km through village, 25km through the dense forest), trekking, sighting animals and birds and pedal boating.
The jeep that is used can accommodate a maximum of five persons. One guide will join each group of five for the trek. Included in the programme is transport, trekking, breakfast, lunch and mineral water.
