A guided morning jeep ride to see the wildlife in its natural habitat and followed by a bath in the unpolluted brook where the pristine water drip down the rock edges which cools your mind and body. But sometimes you may have to hold your breath if you suddenly see a gaur or a sambar quenching its thirst from the flowing waters.
The afternoons can be spent in fishing in the lake or the river which are abundant with two types of Masheer (a species indigenous to Periyar) and different other fishes. The evenings can be spent through a scenic drive in and around the valley with acres of meadows, cliffs and precipices that cut down into the Sabarimala ranges.
The Night Safari armed with spotlights and cameras in an open jeep is an experience not to be missed. One can see in the night the ferocity of the wild, as we encounter the crouching predator and the fleeing prey among the silent meadows and imposing trees.
