The dry season from December to March is best, as the trails are not slippery then and the chances of spotting wildlife increase. The period between 6-9 AM is the most suitable time for birdwatching.
Conseils budget
The entry fee for foreign tourists is around 3000-4000 rupees, which includes a guide. The fee for locals is much lower, and school day discounts or group discounts may be available.

À propos
Faits rapides: C'est un haut lieu de la biodiversité s'étendant sur 11 187 hectares, où l'on trouve plus de 147 espèces d'oiseaux. Plus de 95 % des arbres et plantes y sont endémiques, ce qui en fait l'une des forêts tropicales les plus uniques au monde.
Points forts: Vous y découvrirez une magnifique cascade nommée "Ratnagiri", qui pendant la mousson rugit comme un lion. Vers 6 heures du matin, lorsque le brouillard se dissipe, toute la forêt se baigne dans une lumière dorée et des milliers de papillons s'envolent ensemble.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear sturdy waterproof shoes for trekking, as mud and leeches are common on the trail.
- Carry a camera with a good zoom lens, especially for taking pictures of birds and butterflies.
- Tell the guide that you are a photography enthusiast so that they take you to hidden wildlife spots.
- Arrive early in the morning; it often rains in the afternoon, making trekking difficult.
