Kerala govt allows women to apply for Agastyaarkoodam trek
The Kerala Forest Department on Saturday opened online registration for women to trek Agastyaarkoodam. Agastyaarkoodam is a pilgrimage centre within the Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary which had an unofficial ban on women entry until the Kerala High Court in November 2018 ruled out the gender-based restriction. The annual trek will be held from January 14 to March 1.
