This video deserve a million view. What a beautiful video 😍❤️

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Aaaah thank you! Your words mean the world 🥰🥰🥰

Tigers are very different than other big cats, even though tigers population increased in india in recent years but spotting a tiger is difficult, you should have spent at least two days to have positive results. Or gone for smaller reserve where you would have better chance

[@TimezoneJunkies]

We didn’t come to india to see tigers so we’re happy anyway, swing wild elephants. We weren’t even planning on visiting this part of Kerala or any animal reserve. It was a spontaneous decision. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video 😀

[@Anirudhchauhanzx]

@@TimezoneJunkies Chance of spotting a tiger is almost zero in these trekking. Even female tigers owns around 20 square km as their territory, the trekking route used is always the same areas and the forest authority will be well aware about the whereabouts of the tiger who owns these areas at any given time. Trekking will only be allowed when they know that the tiger is far away from the trekking route by sightings of that particular tiger in surveillance cameras placed at other parts of it's territory. The same goes to leopard that have around 15 square km as their territory. Continuous trekking through a route also pushes the big cats to leave that area of their territory. So the chances of spotting a Tiger is almost impossible unless some young nomadic Tiger wander into the trekking area unnoticed by the dominant male tiger, female Tiger, Surveillance cameras, birds and monkeys that gives warning calls etc... In which case your guide and accompanying officer is completely caught off guard.

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Thanks for the info 😀🙏🏼 as you can read in our comment above and as we said in the video. The chances of spotting tigers are almost non existent and we knew that when we went on the tours 😊

[@xyzblue4563]

Bandhavgarh, Kanha and ranthambore if you absolutely want to see tigers

[@pranabk007]

@@TimezoneJunkies it's depends upon place and population. Think about a small territory with larger population. So do the research accordingly. I was in kanha national park and saw a tiger within four hours . But it's luck and persistence I guess .

[@lyndonlabuschagne2174]

Seeing animals in their natural habitat makes such a difference. Living where I do and just going to a hike, I see Giraffe, Zebra a number of buck too. much better than a safari park or a zoo, just out in nature. Another good video, I think these last few are your best yet.

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Thanks you’re so kind! It’s so weird for us to hear as we’ve felt the most always and out of practise making videos 🤣 Yes, we don’t go to the zoo. It doesn’t feel right and this was on the edge for us as I felt there were too many groups. But it is what it is. Must be amazing to go out and just see a giraffe 🤩

[@lyndonlabuschagne2174]

I love walking tours like this! Malin and Alex, All the best!

[@TimezoneJunkies]

It’s so funny because we weren’t sure whether to film this or not as other people aren’t always comfortable with vloggers on tours like that. So we only brought one camera and then we thought “why not” and it turned out one of our favourite videos to edit 😀

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Thanks for watching everyone and if you are new here welcome to our channel! We hope you enjoyed spotting some wildlife with us. Have you ever been on any type of wild life spotting tour or safari? Let us know in the comments 😊

Loved the video, the elephant siting with the background was a photographer's dream. I have not been to a nature preserve yet, but would love to go to Africa one day.

[@TimezoneJunkies]

We do wished we’d had a proper zoom lens for the elephants and bisons. We loved the nature walk in the morning. Yeah to go wildlife spotting in Africa somewhere would be amazing. 🤩

[@randommedia3441]

Periyar tiger reserve is the biggest tiger reserve of india, its in a massive area.... There still lots of lush green forest where till now humans didn't step his feet...

Why were you waiting for this particular one. We weren’t actually planning on going to this part of Kerala. It was very impulsive and we decided on the day to film it. It’s not our typical kind of vlog. Beautiful place though 😀

[@parvkoolwal7866]

Haha you dont remember my name 😂 I was the one who convinced you to go for a nature walk 😂😂

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Aaaah, we didn’t make the connection! Of course we remember! We get so many comments from Indian people. Sorry 😀🐯 / Malin

[@anwar_physio]

nice presentation bro.

[@wildfacts489]

The 2018 census counted 190 tigers in the state. Wayanad had the highest number of tigers, 125. It has been estimated that the population of the big wild feline has increased by 6 per cent over the past five years.While the Periyar Tiger Reserve may have 30 to 35 tigers, Parambikulam is expected to have 25 to 30 tigers. Go and explore Wayanad 😂 you can see a lots of tiger in the road😂

[@sauravkumarchand9691]

Wonderful Vlog about Periyar Tiger Reserve. If possible do visit Stunningly beautiful Vagamon Hill Station, which is 45 kms/1 hours 30 minutes away from Periyar Tiger Reserve.

[@TimezoneJunkies]

We wanted to visit vagamon. We’re were recommended to go there by some locals we met. We didn’t make it this time but we have a five year visa so we have plenty of time to explore Kerala more than once 😀

Tigers are there inside. But being a protected forest of about 80km long, 30km wide, with many mountains and grasslands it is difficulty to spot tiger and leopards. Also they don't like humans, so move away from the trekking path. They have great sense of smell and can hear low frequency sounds. So animals know human presence from far away. And importantly trekking is allowed in buffer areas, in core forest no tourism activity is allowed.

[@Lovely-dl5cw]

Tigers nowadays frequently visit the nearby villages in Idukky, Pathanamthitta, Wayanad they also attack the cattles. Even yesterday, a day before tiger was spotted. Caught in CCTV too. But to spot a tiger in wild in Kerala is very difficult as our forests are not suitable for safaris. Tigers mostly hide in deep forests and the ones those attack cattles maybe the older ones as they can't hunt in the wild. You can spot other animals like elephant, gaur, deer, wild pig sometimes bear etc. Leopard attract is frequent in villages these days especially after the covid period. Animal population has increased a lot. We need to protect the wild but also take care of our human population from wild attacks, a cause of concern these days.

Jungle is actually a word english has borrowed from India! Happy Travels

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Didn’t know that 😀 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@gamesnsnacks]

You should head to Bandipur or Kabini Safari to get Tigers more .

[@aniketdesai7947]

For next time try tiger tail for 2 days there is a huge chance of spoting 🐅.

[@syamlal7514]

during the summer season,the stream in the dense forest dry up and there is a high chance of seeing a tiger

[@TimezoneJunkies]

The water was very low when we were there so it was quite dry. Our guide said he’s only seen tiger three times in all the years he worked there and they do tours everyday. Would have been amazing though 🐯

[@ffpredator5214]

If you seen a tiger then we wouldn't have seen you now

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Not sure about that. There are people spotting tigers without being killed 😂🐯

[@MrScientific007]

I don't think that English forest is this much dense.Forest in Europe looks more similar trees and less species,at least not that dangerous like in India from king cobra to elephants.

[@kirannnnnn]

Go to Sikkim , Arunchal pradesh , Himachal pradesh , Uttarakhand ,ladakh ,Andaman and Nicobar islands , Puducherry ,Goa etcc.. Your are in South India For Temples architecture is another unique experience in india

Nice recommendations but foreign nationals required Inner Line Permit from Government of India to explore Arunachal Pradesh State and West & North Sikkim Districts in Sikkim State. Infact foreigners are not allowed to visit many destinations in Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh States in our North East region of India.

had you done Safari in Tiger reserves in Madhya Pradesh would have seen the tiger Madhya Pradesh is a central Indian state has lots of tigers.

Hi there and thanks for watching and leaving us a comment. We didn’t come to Kerala to see tigers. We weren’t even planning to visit periyar national park until just days before we went there so we’re very happy with the wildlife we spotted. Never expected to see tigers. Thanks for the recommendation about Madhya Pradesh. We will keep it in mind 😀

To spot a tiger the best place is Nagaorehole forget in Karnataka

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Thanks for the suggestion 😀

[@zerocarbon6787]

Go to panna tiger reserve or rajgir wildlife safari. Where u will spot tigers. Rest tiger reserves have less tiger and huge landscape rarely ull spot it. In panna and rajgir most spot tigers. Also visit mysuru zoo which is awarded as asias best zoo. It has all animals in it.

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Thanks for the suggestion. We didn’t expect to see tigers so it’s ok. We don’t go to zoos. We prefer animals to be on their natural habitat 😀🐯

[@sailormani]

Best time to spot tigers are in the middle of the night..

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Yes we know and even then it’s not very likely to happen. We didn’t come for the tigers. We came for nature and other wildlife. Thanks for watching 😀

[@sailormani]

@@TimezoneJunkies agree..Tiger spotting shud not be the prime objective. There r millions of other activities to do..Camping on river bank, Stay in core area of forest(with permission from FD), listening to calls of Owls, wild mammals, waking up to call of Birds(Thrushes)..

We didn’t go to Periyar to see tigers. We knew we wouldn’t and they tell you chances are basically none. We went for the nature and to see wild elephants and other wildlife and we very much enjoyed it 😀 If you are referring to the title of the video, it’s just a title 😎 Thanks for watching.

There are no tigers there Pinarai sold most of them to the Chinese rest he made tiger biryani and suplied to sapna suresh also 😆

They told us there are about 30 tigers in the park and the park is huge. Obviously we don’t know what is true or not but we didn’t come to se tigers anyway. We came for the nature and hopefully seeing some wild elephants (which we did) and other wildlife and we enjoyed it which is the important thing 😀 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

​@@TimezoneJunkies they can sense you from miles away never come out to places where humans regularly visit. You can spot them in wayanad they are used to humans . Even they visit homes and attack humans and cattle.

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Yea we’ve heard about that but spotting tigers in Periyar is super rare. You’re more likely getting attacked by a bison. There are very few tigers in Periyar, only just over 30 and it’s a huge area.

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Also they wouldn’t do these tours of it was that dangerous.
