点评:We did the all day Border Hiking at Periyar Tiger Reserve in December 2025 and had the best time. We weren't able to pay online with English credit cards so needed to get a separate tour guide to book onto the experience for us and pay with an Indian card.
The hike started at 8am where we were given backpacks and leech socks. The backpacks had an apple, banana and orange, plus sandwiches for breakfast and chickpea curry and rice for lunch and a 1l bottle of mineral water. We were a couple and there were 4 other people on the hike, along with 2 guides and an armed guard.
The hike started on the flat for a couple of miles, then had quite a steep elevation for a mile or 2, then a downhill gentleish decent. The day ended after 9.2 miles with 1,750 feet total elevation over 7 hours. We finished at around 4pm, although the official finishing time is listed as 5pm on the website. There were plenty of long breaks throughout.
We were unlucky and only saw a bison, monkey and deer, however it is possible to see elephants on the hike and the guides were always looking out for more wildlife for us and telling us about the flora and fauna including cinnamon trees and others.
The views were amazing and the guides were always checking in to check on how we were doing. I 100% recommend this experience
翻译:2025年12月,我们在佩里亚尔老虎保护区参加了全天的边境徒步之旅,玩得非常开心。由于无法使用英文信用卡在线支付,我们不得不另找一位导游帮我们预订行程,并用印度信用卡付款。
徒步之旅早上8点开始,我们领到了背包和防蛭袜。背包里装着苹果、香蕉和橙子,早餐是三明治,午餐是鹰嘴豆咖喱饭,还有一瓶1升的矿泉水。我们是一对情侣,同行的还有另外4个人,以及2位导游和1位持枪警卫。
徒步路线一开始是平坦的,走了几英里后,有一两英里的陡坡,之后是一段比较平缓的下坡路。我们走了9.2英里,累计爬升1750英尺,耗时7小时。我们大约下午4点结束行程,虽然网站上显示的结束时间是下午5点。途中有很多长时间的休息时间。
我们运气不太好,只看到了野牛、猴子和鹿,不过徒步旅行途中也有可能看到大象。向导们一直在帮我们寻找其他野生动物,并讲解沿途的动植物,包括肉桂树等等。
景色美极了,向导们也经常过来询问我们的感受。我百分百推荐这次体验。
