A lot of monkey, deers and peacocks etc can be seen on the journey. The is kind of off road type. Finish everything before 6pm.

Beautiful old teak tree in the middle of the jungle. Quiet a ride to get to this place. We had to park our car at the Perambikulam car park and take the safari ride to get to this place. You can get this for Rs.300 per person and the ride is for 3 hours through the forest.

Really a wonder of nature.. it’s really huge in size. Many people should keep hands together to cover up around the tree. The trip through those rough roads was awesome

We visited Parambikulam Tiger reserve on May 31st for a day. Jungle Safari was our plan & we took the forest safari @ 10:30 am when a minimal crowd turned up. The safari started well with deer & elephant but couldn't see Gaur (Indian Bison) and tiger. They say only if you stay & visit safari early morning or late afternoon there is possible sights of tiger if you're lucky. We returned enjoyed the forest drive back home

Such a beautiful tree and we must pride for having this much older tree ( about 455 years Old ) in our Tamilnadu (kerala Border)
