After check-in on a rainy evening we got into the Pollachi-Parambikulam Govt. bus and traveled to Parambikulam. The bus was almost full but the ride was worth it. We saw herds and herds of Indian Bisons, monkeys, wild boars and deer. The scenery was ultimate paradise on the whole with running water on the roads, dams and green, greener and... More

The topslip is part of Tamilnadu and can be reached via pollachi. The jungle safari organised by the forest department is the only possibility to enter the reserve forest. Wild boars just roam around like chicken on a farm land, if you are lucky you can spot heards of elephants and deer. A few kilometers from Topslip is the Kerala... More

We went to this exclusive place and enjoyed the place. It was nice and relaxing. Since so little is there in the net for would be travelers, I decided to upload this review to help others. 1. Attraction: exclusivity, wild life and low population. 2. Where is it?: about 60 to 90 minutes from Pollachi Tamil Nadu by car or... More

We booked with a local tour group called Greenhills (I think), and the trip started with a drive in a standard car to Topsilp. Topslip entry is paid for by you, which includes your fee into the park for each person, as well as any cameras you may have. Normal cameras are 25rupees, but a video camera is 150 (about... More

If you haven’t been here, you’re missing something. TopSlip (and adjoining ‘Parambikulam’) must surely rank as one of the most underrated national parks in India. The surprising thing is, it’s so easy to get to. Unlike Corbett, Ranthambore, Bandavgarh or Gir, TopSlip is just a 3 hour drive from Coimbatore airport. Hire a private Taxi (we had a Southern Character,... More
