Thekady Tour Packages
Explore the wild side of Kerala in Periyar National Park.
Overview
Thekkady, situated in the Idukki district of Kerala, is the home of Periyar National Park and Tiger Reserve. Set around a serene lake created by the Mullaperiyar Dam, the reserve is known for herds of wild Asian elephants, gaur, sambar deer, and rich birdlife. A calm boat cruise across Periyar Lake is the classic highlight, offering sightings of wildlife along the forest-fringed shores.
Surrounding the wildlife sanctuary are sprawling plantations of black pepper, green cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Guided plantation walks let visitors touch and smell genuine spices growing in natural groves. The town also offers cultural experiences like traditional Kathakali dance and Kalaripayattu martial arts demonstrations.
