BLAZING A NEW TRAIL
Human nature is unchanging, they say But
proving them wrong are the guards and guides at the Periyar Tiger Reserve. Once
plunderers of forest wealth, they today provide security cover the park and
guide tourist in trekking – putting their remarkable knowledge of the forests
to good use.
Elephants are the leitmotifs of Kerala, perhaps
the only place in the world where they are kept as pets. While the sanctuaries in
the State enable elephant sightings ,close encounters can be had at the many
elephant shelters and training centers across the State.
The sanctuaries of Kerala are home to some of
the worlds ‘s most valued flora and fauna like the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, the
atlas Moth – the largest of its kind in the world and the Neelakurinji that
blooms once in every twelve years . Kerala also shelters India’s last stretch of
tropical evergreens, India’s richest
bird habitat and the world’s oldest teak plantation.
