In my recent visit to Kerala I was astounded by the greenery all around me. I visited Kerala to relax at backwaters and swim at the beach.

But I discovered more the discussion at an Ayurvedic massage center the masseur told me about Periyar. Thanks to time at hand I added tiger safari at Periyar in my Kerala tour and was not at all disappointed.

I am as it is very fond of wildlife safari and Periyar was a new and exciting discovery. Wild elephants and rare sight of the Bengal tiger really justified Kerala trip in Southern India. The herd of spotted deer, wild bisons and the large Sambar deer was thrilling beyond expectations. Periyar as I discovered was extremely rich in Indian birds belonging to Southern Taxa.

Like a wildlife resorts at Kanha Periyar Mational Park offers varied accommodations and lodging. You can spend enjoying wildlife in luxury. Periyar also offers wonderful nature treks in the surrounding jungle and rafting on the river at Thekkady which is not a done thing at Kanha National Park in Central India.

Apart from Periyar Kerala has many wildlife sanctuaries and bird habitats that the eco tourist find very appealing to visit.

I enjoyed the God's owm country immensely and visited many forts and palaces apart from the beaches, spas, and backwater and yes wildlife at Kerala. In fact time allowed me to visit all the places worth seeing in this Indian state.

I recommend Kerala as an exciting holiday destinations to tourists from all over the World.

Wildlife Safari at Kanha

The best place to see the tiger in India is Kanha National Park which harbors more then one hundred tigers in the wild. Situated in Maikal Hills a branch of Satpura range Kanha is a wild life heaven and offers the best tiger sightings in India. Kanha has more than 22 mammalian species and more than two hundred bird species. The number of species of insects including butterflies is un countable. Reptiles are common but being nocturnal in nature they are a rare sight except Indian python and the rat snake.

Locating Tigers

The method of a successful tiger sighting lies in the reaction to the animal's movement in the forest. When the tiger is on the move in the jungle, his realm is as responsive as the court of Great Mughal Rulers. Peacocks blare, Sambar deer bell, Spotted Deer call frantically, Hanuman monkeys explode in cough-like alarm, Jungle Fowl screech, Bison whistle and barking deer emit the impossibly raucous bark which is dog like hence their name. The repetition of alarm cries as well as the combination from two or more animal species in the same area of the jungle is a good sign that Bengal Tiger is moving nearby.

Using your ears to listen to what other animals are saying is a good method of locating a Tiger.

With the close of the season eco tourists are looking forward for the opening of the park tiger reserves for wild safari again after the monsoon.

As per new policy of the Madhya Pradesh government the tiger reserves in Central India will open for tiger safari on 16th October 2008. Tiger sightings has been extra ordinary this year and with the birth of more tiger cubs the coming year promises to be exciting and higly succesful for tiger lovers.
