Event Participation Form
Dear All,
This is our first explorative
trek to this area. Please be prepared for all unexpected twists and turns in
this event.
Important: All
tentative participants note this trek is only for seasoned trekkers.
Parambikulam, an
unconventional extension of the Western Ghats, brings the forest closer to
settled land than usual. On the northern shoulder of the ghats, where it
opens to make way for Palghat Pass, sits this wildlife sanctuary, offering
splendid views of the sprawling rice fields of Pollachi. The forest is
teeming with animals and a ride, by car, jeep or bus (two wheelers are not
allowed), up and down to Parambikulam is certain to land you a prized
sighting of langurs, bisons, a bear, elephants and, if you are lucky enough,
a tiger. Not to mention the huge variety of birds and the different species
of plants that serve as a treat for respective enthusiasts.
