SAFARI
The evening and morning jeep safaris are the
high point of every visitors stay. Each drive
into the National Park takes about 3 hours and
covers about 80 km of forest roads and game
tracks. A fleet of low noise green vehicles
along with experienced spotters take time to
show you the giant Malabar Squirrel or Serpant
Eagle perched on the tree canopy or a herd of
Sambar at a distant salt pit or the pug mark of
the Tiger near a water hole or game track.
BIRD WATCHING
The National Park has about 250 species of birds
and serious bird watchers can drive slowly
through the park to watch these feathered bi-peds.
With special permission from the park
authorities and during selected seasons, a
jungle trek could also be arranged. An early
morning walk inside the resort premises could
also be a rewarding experience.
GROUP ACTIVITIES
Group activities such as Treasure hunt, Tug of
War or rappelling and jumaring at rock faces
close by can be arranged with prior intimation
and at a nominal cost.
EXCURSIONS
For those planning a longer vacation, excursions
to nearby Tibetan settlements at Bylekuppe and
Gurupura are interesting half day outings.
Bylekuppe, 50 kms from the resort, is the second
largest Tibetan settlement outside Tibet,
complete with a Tibetan monastery with 7000
monks,a Tibetan village and a flea market.
Irupu waterfall near Kutta is a 40 kms drive
through the Rajiv Gandhi National Park. It is a
great sight during the monsoons.
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR GAMES
From table tennis to carom in the indoors and
cricket to football in the out doors. From
cycling to target practice with an air rifle,
the resort offers recreational options for both
adults and children. |
