Tourists allowed from Friday and Saturday respectively
Bringing cheer to large sections who have been exploring options for short getaways amid the COVID-19 restrictions, the Forest Department has decided to open up more of its ecotourism destinations nine months after they were closed during the lockdown.
The tourist spots in the Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary are set to reopen on Friday while the scenic hill station of Ponmudi will receive visitors from Saturday. The move comes amid growing clamour among local residents and travel enthusiasts to permit entry to the destinations that usually brim with crowds during the peak season. The ecotourism centres come under the purview of the Neyyar-Peppara forest development agency.
