How do you reach Parambikulam?

What is the difference between your Topslip and Parambikulam packages?

The Topslip package is a day visit to both reserves with a Pollachi stay. This one is built around a night inside Parambikulam.

Is bamboo rafting always available?

No. It depends on water levels and forest-department operations on the day.
