More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull off the narrow plantation road and the jeep drops into a bowl of green: ridgelines of reserve forest ring the clearing and the air tastes of wet earth and spice. Ahead, Anakulam’s open amphitheater waits—grassland fringed by forest where wild elephants come down from the hills to feed and drink. The herd is deliberate; calves move like punctuation between the adults, trunks testing the air and the river daring you to step closer only in thought.
