Thekkady, located in Kerala’s Idukki district, is a premier eco-tourism destination famous for the Periyar Tiger Reserve, boating on Periyar Lake, and sprawling spice plantations. Key attractions include jeep safaris, bamboo rafting, and cultural shows like Kathakali, best visited from September to May.
We offer an unequaled range of cultural programs and events focusing on art, like keral’s traditional art kathakali, kalarippayattu and magic show.
We did the elephant ride, elephant bath/shower, and fed the elephant.
Green Park Ayurvedic and Spices Plantation offers a chance to sync with nature.
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.
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.
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.
Embarking on a road journey to Thekkady is an enchanting experience, where every twist and turn of the well-maintained highways adds to the anticipation of reaching this haven of natural beauty.
Taking the train to Thekkady is a great option for those who enjoy a leisurely pace, letting you enjoy the beautiful scenery during the journey.
The nearest airport to Thekkady is Madurai International Airport, strategically positioned just approximately 136 kilometres away
