Clouds walk is a must do activity when you are in
Thekkady. It is a long guided trek for about 3-4 hrs up the mountains and
forests.
The quest of a
mountain trekker is for the freedom of the hills, to be at home in the high
wilderness with no barriers that he cannot pass, no danger he cannot avoid with
due caution and proper knowledge. This quest gives him/her true bliss. He
develops real love for the mountain regions and appreciation of their grandeur.
Trekking leads to a
closer interest in plants, trees, birds and animals, indeed in all forms of
natural study. It inculcates the virtue of sacrifice, the value of physical
exertion, sometimes to the limit of endurance, and above all, the spirit of
comradeship. A sense of adventure adds excitement to the trek.
Trekking is an art which any healthy and young
minded person can learn at any age. But it is best to start early in life to
get the most out of it. Trekking does not demand great strength or immense
wealth but merely your desire and willingness. A sound trekker is mindful of
his own minimum needs; he must give up certain comforts and avoid burdening
himself with the non-essentials.
By participating in the trek, you feel the lifestyle and the
landscape of the tribal and non tribal communities. From the vantage point, you
can have a look at grasslands, evergreen, deciduous and riverine forest and the
expanses of irrigated arid land across the border where the nectar
from the river Periyar provides the breath of life. Hotel Tigers Roare provides you an excellent opportunity to enjoy trekking if you choose to stay with us. Visit http://www.tigersroarperiyar.com/
