Amazing jungle walking tour

It is one of the best jungle walking tours in Kerala. Seeing the wild animals in their natural habitats was one of the best experiences ever. I will recommend you book an early morning safari so you can enjoy this experience with fewer crowds.

Do not forget to take some pictures.

It was one of the most thrilling experiences for me, and I loved every bit of it. I took so many pictures here, and they came out surprisingly well. So, I will recommend that you take lots and lots of pictures.

We made the right choice in choosing our agency

When we booked the walking tour the first time, we did it ourselves without information and went for the safari in the summer. It was not the right move! Learning from our mistake, we booked through BanBanjara, who helped us book the tour at the right time. Choosing the right agency and weather is a must.

It was a 3-hour walking tour through the dense jungles of Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, and you will enjoy watching the beautiful nature and exotic animals, like when we witnessed the elephants roaming in a pack—a perfect view to witness.

We are coming back here again next winter.

We went to Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary the previous year in the winter, and my kids loved the place, the walking tour, and more. So, we plan to go again this winter and will book again through BanBanjara only.
