Activities to Do in Thekkady

Periyar National Park

is most famous for its tiger and elephant populations, but you need a lot of luck to see any. They are elusive animals that roam over a wide area.

Periyar lake Boat trips

One of the most prominent features of the park is Periyar Lake, which is a large, man-made lake. The lake is surrounded by thick forests and is a popular spot for boat rides to view the wildlife.

Trekking

In my opinion it is best to explore Periyar National Park on foot. Luckily there are a number of options including half day walks, night treks, challenging border patrols and the tiger trail that includes an overnight stay in the park.
