Bamboo Rafting
This is a dawn to dusk range hiking and rafting programme through some of the richest forest tracts of Periyar Tiger Reserve. Starting at 8 am from the boat landing, a mosaic of habitats will be traversed before the party gets into rafts made of bamboos. The forests are rich in bird life and arboreal animals like giant squirrel and Nilgiri langur. The rafting is for about three hours and one gets a panoramic view of forest-clad hills reflected on the lake. Animals like elephant, gaur and sambar are sighted keeping close to the edges of the lake. The team hitchhikes back to the boat landing by about 5 pm. An armed guard and 4 guides will accompany a maximum of 10 tourists. Tea, snacks and packed lunch will be served enroute.

Trip Reports
Today was Bamboo rafting and it was a great experience. There groups of elephants. Monkeys, Birds, Deer, Bison& Pigs. We could not have a seen for more unless it was a Tiger. For us it was necessary to visit both Gavi (see above) and the main reserve(Bamboo Rafting) to truly experience Periyar. They are very different and to miss either one is to miss the true reserve. We will return.

We have to thank Mr Murali for recommending the raft trip to us. We had a wonderful day in a very peaceful setting. We had the good fortune to see many animals eg. 2 leads of elephants with their young, langur monkeys, samber deer, giant malabar squiral, bison and among the birds we saw cormorant hornbill,heron, kingfisher, kites (Brahmin), Snake bird. We enjoyed the food, which was prepared by the guides. The guides were well informed and had a keen eye for spotting the animals.
