The view of the tribal villages below, Cumbam valley, Mangaladevi, Kumarikulam and other escarpments, a glimpse of the Palni hills beyond the borders of Tamil Nadu are really a refreshing sight to you. During the course of the trek, it isn't uncommon to catch sight of endemic species of birds like the Nilgiri pipit or broad-tailed grass bird and butterflies like the Malabar tree nymph. Huge claw marks on trees are an indication of tigers that have roamed the terrains of Thekkady and Periyar - The Periyar Tiger Reserve in particular, for so long.
