Silent Valley National Park Day Trip
Silent Valley is one of the last undisturbed tracts of South Indian tropical evergreen forest, and it is protected ferociously — visitor numbers are capped each day, entry is by forest department permit only, and there is no road inside the park. You walk, with a guide, from the Mukkali base camp. It is the habitat of the lion-tailed macaque and the Nilgiri langur, and the reason the Silent Valley hydroelectric project was cancelled in the 1980s.
