Agasthiyarkoodam Trekking Booking procedure

From this year (2020), you can book Agasthyakoodam trekking entry passes
online! The link for booking trek tickets will be available on the official website of Kerala
forest department (http://www.forest.kerala.gov.in/)on the opening day of booking
(08.01.2020, 11.00am).

In 2018, this facility was rolled out through Kerala eService Delivery Portal and you
can register an account for the portal anytime. For example, if the trek program starts on 15th
January, the ticket booking will usually open on 12th January and the details of the dates
would be published somewhere around 10th January in all major newspapers. Forest
department website also provides a link for getting ticket availability status!

Up to 15 people can be booked on a single ticket and you need to pay Rs.500 per
person. The trekking fee must be paid online, but only a limited number of banks are enabled
for online money transfer. Before booking ensure that you have the following information
available for each member of the trekking team,

 Name, age and contact number

 Type of identity proof (Aadhar, Driving License, Election Card etc.)
 Identity proof number
 Address

Once you book the ticket and pay the money you get an option to print the entry pass.
Always save a copy of the ticket before you print it. You can also access the entry pass later by
logging into Kerala eService Delivery Portal and then selecting View Status Application =>
Track Application Status option from the left menu of the homepage.

The entry pass also contains an affidavit which the team leader of the trekking group
must sign. On the day of your trek, you need to report to Bonacaud forest station at 7AM with
the entry pass/affidavit and the ID proof originals of all members of the trekking team.
