For
a state with a coastline of 1,000 km, Tamil Nadu offers a surprising
variety of activities to keep your feet, and definitely those
of the elephant you’re riding on, firming on the ground.
On the hunt for adventure, the first stop in this state is the
Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary, the first in south India. Here,
go on an elephant safari and travel across terrain that ranges
from Hills
to valleys and forests, and from watercourses to swamps to catch
a glimpse of hyenas, jackals, elephants, sloth bears and tigers.
Not too far away just 40 km from Ooty, is the Nilgiri Tahr Wildlife
Sanctuary, a part of Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, where the fish
always bite and the trekking is free. While the river and lakes
of Mukurthi are perfect for trout fishing, if trekking is what
you want to do, the route wends its way from parsan valley through
Portimund. If Ooty seems too far away, then nearer the capital
Chennai, is Kambakkam. Test your strength, Concentration and
coordination on the low rocky hills of Kambakkam, which makes
this the ideal |
