(Meals Aloft) DAY 2~SUNDAY~OCTOBER 19 COCHIN Late this evening arrive in one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Kochi (colonial name Cochin) is a vibrant city situated on the south-west coast of the Indian peninsula in the breathtakingly scenic and prosperous state of Kerala, hailed as 'God's Own Country'. This lovely seaside city is flanked by the Western Ghats on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. Its proximity to the equator, the sea and the mountains provide a rich experience of a moderate equatorial climate. Upon arrival you will be met and escort to your hotel. Your home for the next two nights Vivanta Taj Malabar, is a luxurious five star hotel with a waterfront location on the north tip of Willingdon Island in Cochin. It is one of the finest hotels, a blend of new and old. The heritage wing of the hotel was built in 1935 and has graceful Victorian interiors. The Tower wing with renovated rooms and suites is a mix of classic and contemporary styles. There are 96 comfortable guestrooms all equipped with modern amenities. After a day of exploring Cochin take a dip in the infinity pool or enjoy an invigorating spa treatment. There is also a steam room and gym. A choice of dining options includes the only authentic Thai restaurant in Kerala, an alfresco grill restaurant, and an upscale seafood restaurant. Overnight at VIVANTA TAJ MALABAR. ( No Meals) (superior charm garden view) http://www.vivantabytaj.com/Malabar-Cochin DAY 3~MONDAY~OCTOBER 20 COCHIN Start your day with a visit to see the the Chinese fishing nets (Cheenavala) which are distinctly unique to Cochin. It is believed that traders from the court of the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan introduced these nets here. Oddly, these nets are found only in Kochi, outside China! Many fishermen earn their livelihood by fishing using these massive nets. A whole stretch of the coast along Fort Kochi and Vypeen are dotted with these nets. The tour ends in the Fort Kochi area where you can walk through the historical Dutch and Portuguese buildings. Some parts of this nearly 50-year-old Fort are still amazingly well preserved Visit the Dutch Palace which was originally built by the Portuguese. Later, in 17th century, the Dutch modified it and presented it to the Raja of Kochi. The palace has a fine collection of mural paintings depicting the scenes from the Hindu epics Mahabharatha and Ramayana. Continue with your visit to the Jewish Synagogue located Schedules, accommodations and prices are accurate at the time of writing. They are subject to change near the Dutch Palace which was built in 1568, and is magnificently decorated by Chinese tiles and Belgian chandeliers. Giant scrolls of the Old Testament can be found here. Continue on to one of the oldest churches built by Europeans in India. On his third visit to Kerala, Vasco da Gama fell ill and died in Kochi. He was buried in the St. Francis Church. Later his remains were taken back to Portugal. In spite of that, the exact place where he was buried has been marked inside the church. Another historic church was built by the Portuguese and elevated to a Cathedral by Pope Paul IV in 1558. In 1795 it fell into the hands of the British when they took over Kochi, and was demolished. About a hundred years later, Bishop Dom Gomez Ferreira commissioned a new building at the same site in 1887. The Church was proclaimed a Basilica in 1984 by Pope John Paul II. The tour ends in the Fort Kochi area where you can walk through the historical Dutch and Portuguese buildings. Some parts of this nearly 50-year- old Fort are still amazingly well preserved. For the antique lovers a visit to Jew Street is almost a walk down the lanes of antiquity. Every piece that they sell has its own tale to narrate – of a palace or a home of the nobility, of travels across many lands and ages. Tonight you will enjoy a Kathakali dance performance. Kathakali is the classical dance-drama of Kerala, South India, which dates from the 17th century and is rooted in Hindu mythology. Kathakali is a unique combination of literature, music, painting, acting, and dance, performed only by men. A welcome dinner is specially prepared for you at a local restaurant. Overnight at VIVANTA TAJ MALABAR. (B,D) DAY 4~TUESDAY~OCTOBER 21 COCHIN/PERIYAR Today‟s drive takes you to Periyar National Park. Set high in the ranges of the Western Ghats, in God‟s Own Country, Kerala, is the Periyar National Park and Tiger Reserve.

The birdlife comprises of Darters, Cormorants, Kingfishers, the great Malabar Hornbill and racket-tailed Drongoes. The reptilian population boasts Of Monitor Lizards that can be spotted basking in the sun, on the rocks along the lakeshore. In the lap of the mountains, the Periyar wildlife sanctuaries surroundings are like a canvas of many shades. The fresh air of the moist deciduous forest gives one a chance to experience the peace and serenity and long to return for more. Unlike other national parks here game viewing is by public boat cruise. Although it is unusual to see many animals from the boats, still you spot a family of Elephants, Wild Boar, and Sambar Deer by the water's edge. The upper deck is best for wildlife viewing when taking a boat cruise, but better Schedules, accommodations and prices are accurate at the time of writing.

  • Status and Ecology of the Nilgiri Tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, South India
    Status and Ecology of the Nilgiri Tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, South India by Stephen Sumithran Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences APPROVED James D. Fraser, Chairman Robert H. Giles, Jr. Patrick F. Scanlon Dean F. Stauffer Randolph H. Wynne Brian R. Murphy, Department Head July 1997 Blacksburg, Virginia Status and Ecology of the Nilgiri Tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, South India by Stephen Sumithran James D. Fraser, Chairman Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences (ABSTRACT) The Nilgiri tahr (Hemitragus hylocrius) is an endangered mountain ungulate endemic to the Western Ghats in South India. I studied the status and ecology of the Nilgiri tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, from January 1993 to December 1995. To determine the status of this tahr population, I conducted foot surveys, total counts, and a three-day census and estimated that this population contained about 150 tahr. Tahr were more numerous in the north sector than the south sector of the park. Age-specific mortality rates in this population were higher than in other tahr populations. I conducted deterministic computer simulations to determine the persistence of this population. I estimated that under current conditions, this population will persist for 22 years. When the adult mortality was reduced from 0.40 to 0.17, the modeled population persisted for more than 200 years. Tahr used grasslands that were close to cliffs (p <0.0001), far from roads (p <0.0001), far from shola forests (p <0.01), and far from commercial forestry plantations (p <0.001).
