BAMBOO RAFTING

BAMBOO RAFTING

Bamboo rafting is one of the most exciting available for tourists in Thekkady. A day long activity that stars at 8 AM, a bamboo rafting group will consist of a maximum of 10 tourists accompanied by four guides and an armed forest guard. With most of the guides being members of the local tribal communities (thanks to efforts as part of the Eco Development Project launched by the government), one can be assured of a highly detail-oriented sharing of information on the dense forests that surround the Periyar Tiger Reserve and the animals in it. Tourists can take delight in the fact that bamboo rafting will take them to bio-diversity spots in the reserve which are some of the richest in India. Butterflies with fascinating wing patterns beyond imagination, flowers with dazzling hues and a plethora of wild animals -- The Periyar Tiger Reserve has it all.
