How do I get trekking permission at Ooty?
It is challenging to get there unless you have received authorization and a security guard with you. To obtain permission, please use your government contacts. It may not function to go straight to the forest office and request permission. I do believe like revealing such information would be unacceptable in a forum because it is personal contact.
It is a protected area in Mukurthi National Park. It used to be known as the National Park of Nilgiris Tahr. It is situated in Nilgiris on high ground.
This sanctuary is not approved for recreational or industrial tourism. Authorization from the forest office is needed for camping and trekking.
The Mukurthi National Park has many trekking routes, and the number of days you plan to spend there will depend on your way.
You would need forest service licenses. To be right, Nilgiri South District. The treks have been suspended since the flooding of 2009.
