Nature Walk / Green Walk
Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, Kerala, India
For those who wish to experience the Periyar forest on foot and connect more intimately with its smaller wonders, a "Nature Walk" or "Green Walk" is an excellent choice. These are interpretative trekking programs led by trained local tribal guides, offering a deeper understanding of the forest ecos ystem, beyond just spotting large mammals. The walks are designed to be relatively easy to moderate, making them accessible to a wide range of visitors. The guided treks typically last for 2.5 to 4 hours, taking you through different types of forest patches, including moist deciduous and evergreen areas, along natural trails. Your tribal guide, with their intricate knowledge of the forest, will point out various flora ? identifying medicinal plants, unique trees, and exotic orchids. They will also help you spot smaller creatures often missed from a vehicle or boat, such as diverse species of birds (including endemic ones like the Malabar Grey Hornbill), colorful butterflies, interesting insects, and sometimes even reptiles or amphibians. While large animal sightings are less frequent on these walks compared to the boat safari, you might still encounter smaller mammals like Giant Squirrels, Nilgiri Langurs, or the occasional Sambar deer. These walks emphasize silent observation and appreciation of the forest's subtle nuances. The guides often share local folklore, traditional uses of plants, and insights into their community's harmonious relationship with the forest. It?s a fantastic opportunity for birdwatching, macro photography, and simply immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the jungle. The "Green Walk" specifically focuses on providing a better understanding of the various trees and plants found in Periyar, making it particularly insightful for botany enthusiasts. These walks are a testament to Periyar's successful eco-tourism model, providing direct benefits and empowerment to the local communities who are the true guardians of the forest.
