Guest reviews
Worthy initiative by Govt., of TN.
It is really worth it. started by 7.45 am and reached back by 3.45 pm, with one hour leisure break at an awesome view point! Exceptional views and beautiful flora. challenging at the same time refreshing trek. My parents (around 60s) loved it. The arrangement part is really appreciable. They arranged food for lunch time. Additional breakfast also provided since we requested for it. Staffs Thirumigu. Marimuthu, Thirumigu. Banumathi and Thirumigu. Geetha accompanied us. All three were friendly and knew a lot about their locality. Thiru, Stalin the DFO ensured our safe journey and is good on the administrative part. Simply by booking it in the Govt., website and by visiting the place for the first time, we had a flawless and memorable day there at kalikesam - injikadavu. Hearty Thanks to the Forest Department of Govt., Of Tamil Nadu !!!
A Memorable Journey Through the Forest
I had the incredible opportunity to go forest trekking adventure - Injikadavu (Kanniyakumari). I must say it was an experience like no other. From the moment I stepped onto the trail, I felt a deep connection to nature that is hard to find in our busy daily lives. The trek offered a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle, allowing me to immerse myself in the calming sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong. What truly stood out was the sense of peace and serenity I felt as I moved through the forest. The trek was not only about the scenic views but also about the physical challenge it presented. The trail had its ups and downs, testing my endurance, but it was all worth it when I reached the top and was greeted with breathtaking vistas. The sense of accomplishment at the end of the trek was truly satisfying. Overall, my forest trekking experience was nothing short of superb. It was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and reflection. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to disconnect, recharge, and explore the wonders of nature. *** Special Thanks to My Guides Mr.Rajesh & Mr.Karthik
A real forest trek
I had recently gone to this trek and it's a wonderful experience, saw elephant, wild boar, black monkey and many other birds and rare plants. Guides Marimuthu and Saju had very good knowledge about forest and also shared with me. Highly recommended!
