Protection oriented range hiking

Border Trekking –A feather wafted down from an eagle in her flight A chink to the strange wilderness that lay ahead A wanton call from the hillocks Deer, bear and bison came all along my way Now I wonder how different was the world I knew so far… This is a conservation-oriented hard trek taking up a full day, starting at 8am and ending at 5pm, covering 15km. The route passes through undulating terrains. Altitudinal ranges of 900 meters to 1300 meters will be covered and trekkers obtain glimpses of the lofty escarpments bordering the park watershed and the vast plains down below. Gaur, sloth bear, elephant etc. are often sighted along this route apart from birds and butterflies. A maximum of 12 tourists can take the programme in two different groups. The trekkers will go with two guides and an armed forest guard. Vegetarian refreshments can be had en route. [/kc_column_text]
