🐿️ Meet the Malabar Giant Squirrel (Ratufa indica)
Spotted in the heart of Periyar Tiger Reserve, this vibrant tree-dweller is one of India’s largest squirrel species. Known for its striking mix of maroon, black, beige, and purple hues, it spends most of its life high in the canopy—leaping between branches with incredible agility. 🌳
A true symbol of the Western Ghats’ rich biodiversity!

🌿 Nature Walk in Periyar Tiger Reserve

A Nature Walk in Periyar Tiger Reserve is a guided forest experience that lets you explore the wilderness on foot with trained local guides. Moving slowly along designated trails, guests discover Periyar’s rich biodiversity — from medicinal plants and birds to animal tracks and forest ecology.

Rather than chasing sightings, the focus is on connection with nature: listening to the forest, learning about conservation, and understanding how life thrives in the wild. Walks are done in small groups for safety and minimal impact.

It’s a calm, educational, and deeply refreshing way to experience Periyar.
