Sobre
Fatos rápidos: É um hotspot de biodiversidade que se estende por 11.187 hectares, onde são encontradas mais de 147 espécies de aves. Mais de 95% das plantas e árvores são endêmicas, o que o torna uma das florestas tropicais mais singulares do mundo.
Destaques: Aqui você encontrará uma cachoeira maravilhosa chamada "Ratnagiri", que durante a monção soa como um leão rugindo. Por volta das 6 da manhã, quando o nevoeiro se dissipa, toda a floresta se banha em luz dourada e milhares de borboletas voam juntas.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
