Silent Valley, India's world-famous national park, is the jewel of the Western Ghats. If the "Heart of the Jungle" is deep in the forest, here you can feel the gentle heartbeat of the forest, rescued from its ruthless pursuit. This 50-million-year-old "great forest" of his had not been properly treated by humans in the late stages. But against all odds, the Silent Valley rainforest has aged gracefully and is still thriving. Spending time in this pristine jungle is a nature lover's dream. A two-hour jeep ride from the nearest community (Mukkari) takes you to this spectacular sight called Silent Valley. The winding road winds through the 'less man' land of the giant trees of 'Nankh' and 'Badhraksham', remnants of history. The occasional barking deer, langurs and macaques are a bonus. Elephants still dominate this jungle and there are few signs. Drive 23km to Sailandri, the gateway to Silent Valley. Spectacular views of Nilgiris from the watchtower and the ancient pristine waters of the Kunti River…you have to see it to believe it. Contact: 8589895652
