Things to Keep in Mind while at Eravikulam National Park

 

To protect and maintain the delicate ecosystem of Eravikulam National Park, there are rules and regulations in place for visitors to follow. These guidelines are crucial as the park is home to endangered species. The following rules must be adhered to:

 

1. It should be noted that nature is unpredictable and the animals residing in the park are no exception. Therefore, there is no guarantee of spotting them. However, if you do get lucky, make sure to capture the moment on your camera.

 

2. Bringing outside food and drinks into the park is strictly prohibited as it can lead to littering. This is considered a punishable offense by the park authorities. Additionally, visitors are requested to refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol within the premises of the park in order to maintain its sanctity.

 

3. Visitors are urged to be mindful of their actions and their impact on the environment. Loud music, talking, and other forms of noise can disturb animals who are sensitive to such disturbances. Feeding animals or bringing pets into the park can also be dangerous for both them and you.

 

4. Eravikulam National Park takes pride in being one of the few plastic-free parks in the country. Therefore, visitors are not allowed to bring any plastic items into the park. Firearms or other harmful objects are also prohibited on park grounds. The management offers organized programs for activities like trekking or picnics, so unauthorized plans will not be tolerated.
