Kurangani – Top Station Bird Watching Trek | Nature Walkers

Multiple days 07:30 PM - Kurangani · Kurangani · bangalore

Kurangani slope station lies near Bodinayakanur in Theni area of Tamil Nadu. This lesser known diamond of a spot in the midst of the immeasurably investigated Western Ghats likewise holds a sharp edge at the tallness purpose of 8782 ft. called Kolukkumalai — considered one of the most noteworthy tea homes on the planet.

With a diverse flora and fauna to boast, the trek appeals to photographers, birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The trail takes you on a zigzag route through a wide expanse of tea gardens. It is most likely that you will spot a wide variety of chirping birds and animals like Nilgiri langur, Nilgiri Tahr, monkeys and Gaurs (Indian Bison). Wild cats and elephant herds are a rarity, but who knows, in the thick canopies and sylvan surroundings, you might cross paths with one.

In the two-day trek, we will cross two check posts— we will be spending the night at the first check post. Witness a welcoming sunrise with the view of the lush tea plantations in the foreground. Prepared to get delighted by myriad landscapes as you cross grasslands, meadows, tea and coffee plantations and dense forest of Kurangani.

Important Notice:

To reduce down trek cost as the cost increases because of state permit cost for two state, we are opting for public transport for this trek. We would be going to Munnar in Non/AV- Sleeper/Seater luxury bus from Bangalore to Bodi and then would be taking a jeep ride to the base camp.
