The Periyar Tiger Reserve (PTR) in Thekkady, a popular tourist destination in Kerala, is transitioning to green energy by introducing compressed natural gas (CNG) buses.

According to PTR East Deputy Director Midhun Mohan, this marks the first time a tourism centre under the Kerala Forest department has introduced CNG buses for passenger transit. Previously, visitors were ferried in diesel buses from Anavachal parking ground to the boat landing inside the reserve, a four-km distance.
