Jungle Inn -
Jungle in the night
A shrill call from the depths of wild makes the wood calm
and still,
hoofs searching for shelter and you don’t see the big shadow…
with bated breaths you watch the emergence of the tiger, the master
hunter…
The programme
The forest cottage at Kokkara, about an hour walk from the Forest
check post is an ideal place to board two persons hoping to share
the quietness of the jungle night. Here one could relax, read a
book, listen to the cicada or simply watch the forests outside.
The high point of the programme is walking through different forest
types at prime time when animals tend to be more active. One can
watch troops of langurs, giant squirrels, etc., besides many birds
along this stretch. Who knows, if the goddess of fortune blesses
you, a tiger could come out of the bushes chasing a herd of sambar
deer!
The check in time and check out time are 3 pm. and 9 am. the following
day respectively. Tea, snacks and dinner are provided.
