When we had planned for the Kerela Trip we were excited about the famous Tiger Trail. We started searching for the relevant site for the tiger trail adventure. We saw https://periyartigertrail.in/ and got in touch with Mr. Sajimon Salim, of the Periyar Tiger trail. When we enquired it was mentioned that only 6 persons are allowed at a time. We were 9 people and thus decided not to go ahead with this trail. Then after we started getting calls from Mr. Sajimon aka Saji regarding the special arrangement which he can make to accommodate 9 person.
He mentioned that he will manage it internally and we will have to pay 100% advance at any cost to book the date. After some days in excitement we thought of booking the trail and paid 100% amount in two transactions in November 2015. We did not get any receipt in lieu of our payments. After following up we got the receipt(from FLIGHT SHOP THEKKADY) of payments on 25th Nov 2015 that 100% of the payment is made and booking is confirmed. Then after as the trip was in February 2016 first week, we were silent. As the trip approached, in order to know the basics of the trail we contacted Saji but in vain. Whenever he picked up he talked to us rudely only. Due to his behavior we go a jittery feeling and then we searched on internet and learnt that he is big fraud and have many complains at different forums.
List of Various complaints against Sajimon Salim:

Before the trip one of us dropped out due to personal reason .Before the start of trip we approached Saji for cancellation and return of Money for that person. Saji agreed over the email. Just before the start of trip, Saji emailed us that Tiger Trail is not possible due to some reason and he has arranged for the Jungle Camp and trekking in Gavi and said that differential money(less than what it should have been) will be paid back. Later we clarified that differential money and Saji agreed and confirmed the same via email. We followed up with him over phone, WhatsApp and email. Thus far we have not received the single penny but false commitments.
This person is behaving as if he is not afraid of any legal steps and will continue to do such frauds. He should be punished appropriately for cheating and misleading the tourists and sabotaging the name of God's own country.
