The
main attraction in K Gudi are the jungle safaris. Jeeps from the
camp take you deep into the forest twice a day, with friendly and
knowledgeable guides (naturalists) identifying animals for guests.
There are different dirt tracks in the forest and the jeeps normally
take varying routes, but keep in touch with each other over wireless
to exchange notes on sightings. The park uses the traditional small
jeeps with open tops, making it convenient for visitors to view
the wildlife and to take pictures on all sides without obstructions.
Tourists visiting K Gudi are generally ardent wildlife enthusiasts
who observe jungle etiquette; this makes quite a difference to the
safari experience. |

The
morning safaris are the best for sighting the larger animals while
one can normally sight a number of the smaller denizens of the forest
in the evening, as they come out to feed. The evening safaris are
also more enchanting, especially when the shadows lengthen over
the dense jungles and armies of crickets start their chorus. It
is amazing how quickly the entire character of the jungle changes
when the darkness creeps in, with human visibility limited to a
few feet. |

| OTHER
ATTRACTIONS |
| |
|
|
|
 |
Go
on a trek into the forest with official guides. Alternatively, you
can take an elephant ride into the forest. Although elephants cannot
cover as much distance as the jeeps, a ride on a pachyderm is quite
a unique and unforgettable experience. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Visit
hamlets of primitive tribals (Soliga and Jenukuruba) to observe
the life styles of these people who have made the forest their home
for many centuries. Observe and learn how these people live in complete
harmony with nature. |

Go
on a trekking trip to the mountain peak and visit the sacred temple
