It aims at utilising the untapped potential of night-time tourism in the hill district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the hill district, gifted with a lush green canopy of forest, wildlife, waterfalls, lakes and mountains, has emerged as a major tourism destination in the State by wooing tourists during the daytime, there is a lack of adequate facilities for tourists during night hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vehicle would return to Sulthan Bathery through the Moolankavu, Karipur, Valluvadi and Vadakkanad hamlets on the fringes of the sanctuary. After a little break, the journey would continue till Irulam through the Kurichyad and Kurichayad forest ranges of the sanctuary. The 60-km safari would end at Sulthan Batehry around 11.30 p.m. We expect it would provide a rare wildlife experience to a visitor, Two customised buses have been set up for the purpose and the final touches to the vehicles are being given at the depot, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">already customised four air-conditioned sleeper buses, including a bus reserved for women , at the KSRTC depot for the tourists to stay at nominal cost, Mr. Joshy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deluxe rooms and dormitory facilities are available on those buses with prior booking. The buses can accommodate as many as 38 persons at a time.
