The programme is unique in being conducted by a team of poachers who
turned protectors of the forests. The team members are hardy and
dependable with an intimate knowledge of the forest terrain. The first
day’s trek starts at 9 am and ends by noon in the second or third day. The
team consists of a maximum of 5 visitors, 5 guides and 2 forest officials.
Normally 20 to 35 kms. of trekking distance will be covered, depending on
the route chosen.
Here, one may chance to encounter much indigenous wildlife like Nilgiri
langur, giant squirrel, elephant and who knows, even the tiger! The trek
route passes through hills and valleys with a variety of tropical plants
and wide-open spaces. Enroute vegetarian meals will be prepared and served
and country tents will be pitched for holing up in the night. Trekking
groups are accompanied by armed forest guards with good communication
equipments, and geared to face any emergency situation. Remember to listen
to unusual and strange adventure stories of the former poachers, now your
guides and protectors of the forests.
Visitors who are medically fit and aged between 15 - 65 are advised to
take the Jungle Camp. Visitors should be serious nature lovers willing to
sacrifice some of the luxuries and comforts of a hotel.
