  • Dress in colors that blend in with the natural environment, like muted brown, khaki, or forest green tones. Don’t wear anything that will stand out or attract attention.
  • Animal sightings are not guaranteed, so you’ll need patience and persistence—especially if you are intent on spotting a Bengal tiger. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t see one, as spending time in a tiger’s natural habitat is a thrill of its own.
  • When in the Tiger Reserve, refrain from speaking loudly or playing music, and never smoke or light fires within protected areas. Don’t do anything that could potentially disturb the animals within Periyar.
  • If you plan on camping as part of the Periyar Tiger Trail, note that at least two people are required to make a booking. The park can host groups of up to six. Children under 12 are not allowed to join.
  • Bring sturdy trekking shoes, insect repellent for mosquitoes, and a pair of binoculars for birdwatching. Also consider packing leech-repellent socks, especially during the rainy season.
