This elephant camp is just next door to Koshys bed and breakfast where we are fortunate enough to be staying. Most of the tourist here are from other parts of India realizing that this area offers so much beauty and Eco tourism. The nights are cool at 16 c and the days are always the same temperate at 32 c. all year round. One can ride the elephants for 1/2 an hour for $5.00.
This bamboo grove minutes from our bed and breakfast is where the monkeys hang out,
traversing the bamboo trees, always putting on a show. The other day as I walked by, one
member of the gang decided he liked my glasses perched on my head and made his best
attempt to grab them. I still have them though.
This region is so diverse, we could easily spend a month here with so much to see and do.
Lisa was watching Ramani our gracious hostess make samosas while talking to her
daughter on the phone who resides in Chicago.
Zachary knows all the best spots and people as he was a pastor here for 8 years.
We are up on the second floor. There are three bedrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen nook.
The two of us are quite spoiled as we are currently the only visitors staying here. In fact we have decided to stay a few extra nights. The wildlife reserve is next on our list which is home to over 1000 wild elephants, 45 tigers and many more exotic species. The reserve is adjacent to Periyar lake at an approx altitude of 3000 ft.
The front entrance host these beautiful flowers which we've never seen before.
Aren't these cool Dad?
Upstairs accommodations
Zachary's friend, the father of the king of the local tribe constructed this authentic hut so
one may find relief from the suns rays. The vista from the roof is spectacular.
