Safari at Parambikulam is seeing lots of takers with various option available now . First info to anyone planning to Parambikulam is that you dont have entry from Kerala and have to cross topslip which is part of Tamilnadu .
At the tamilnadu check post and kerala.chec post you will have to pay entry fees and vehicle charges. There are safari vehicles arranged by forest department amd covers various parts of the forest in thwir vehicle .
If you have planned for an overnite stay then then that plan comes along with a safari and many other options. Thos safari for accomodation parties are done post 3.30 and will close by 615 or so. In one type of booking safari will be done by forest vehicle and in some other it will be your private vehicle .
Also when you have booked for accommodation forbeach group one staff from forest dept will be coming along with you . So do plan for extra seat for the staff in your vehicle . I had to change my initial driving plan in my car due to this :-(
The staff assigned with you play a great role for your safari . Luckily we had a great guy , a real hero and real wild life enthusuastic - Natarajan .
He is having 20 years experience in this forest and had a good field exposure . However he is still not able to get permenant post and waiting eagerly this service year he could get that offer. He had good knowledge on various birds , different type of animals and trees. As much you are interested he is ready to engage . Some simple facts he told about elephants like it needs 200 L of water a day and 300 Kg of food . As per him elephant is an intelligent animal who could detect fresh water presence , understand the stability of soil before it puts a step . The number of muscles the trunk of elephant having and how much task it could do with trunk .
Hats off Natarajan . All the best.
