Wild life camp at gavi

The journey to Gavi, is as always exciting to me. This time it was a camp, a wildlife camp. I had never been there, so I was even more excited. We had tried do many times to participate in that camp, but was in vain due to many reasons, bad climate (rain) or wild elephant on the trek path, summarising we were unlucky. Ok lemme just brief you about the program. This camp is deep inside the Periyar Tiger Reserve or in short PTR. This reserve claim the largest tiger sighting in Kerala.
for reaching this camp you need to trek around 4km through the deep dark forest, and believe me that's worth a trek. Any time you could expect the giant of the jungle in front of you. So watch your steps, listen to the sounds...keep your nostrils open.
Gavi is 34 kilometers away from kumily. For entering kumily you need to take special permissions from the forest department. An Indian citizen is charged INR 25 and foreigner INR 300. A still camera is charged INR 25 and video camera INR 300. Travelling around 12 km from kumily towards vandiperiyar, take a left turn towards moozhiyar (sign boards are there). Another 8 km you will reach vallakkadavu Forest checkpost. You need to remit all the fees I have mentioned earlier here.
