Om
Snabba fakta: Detta är en biologisk mångfaldshubb som sträcker sig över 11 187 hektar med över 147 fågelarter. Över 95 procent av växterna här är endemiska, vilket gör det till en av världens mest unika regnskogar.
Höjdpunkter: Här hittar du det fantastiska vattenfallet "Ratnagiri" som under monsunen låter som ett rytande lejon. Runt klockan 06.00 på morgonen när dimman lättar badas hela skogen i gyllene ljus och tusentals fjärilar flyger samtidigt.
Insidertips
- 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.
