Start of the trail
we took a 1.5 hour long nature trail outing while at Periyar. The trail takes you through a particular section of the forest which is safe from the wild animals to a certain extent. The picture shows the us marching behind the forest officer at the start of the trial..

There was a point on the trail where we had to cross a small narrow section of the Periyar river. A bamboo raft served the purpose. It had long ropes tied on either sides of it and these ropes had to be pulled by the person on the raft to reach the opposite bank and vice versa while returning back. It was a nice experience. The picture captures one such moment. Myself (stripped shirt) and Raju are crossing the river while the others are enjoying the moment.

After we all had crossed the river it was the turn of the forest officer. He stayed behind so that he could take a picture of us.
