Travel Tips & Safety

Trekking & Wildlife Safety

Hire a Local Guide for Trekking – Trekking trails in Kodachadri, Agumbe, and Barkana Falls can be confusing, so take a certified local guide.
✅ Start Early for Treks – Most trekking routes take 5-7 hours, so start early to return before sunset.
✅ Wear Proper Gear – Use trekking shoes, rainproof jackets, and insect repellent for jungle hikes.
✅ Avoid Trekking in Monsoon Without Experience – Heavy rains and leeches can make trails slippery and risky.
✅ Follow Wildlife Park Rules – In Tyavarekoppa Lion Safari & Sharavathi Sanctuary, stay inside vehicles and do not feed or disturb animals.
✅ Carry a Power Bank & Torch – Essential for night camping or long treks in remote areas.
