Things to see and do in Thekkady

Jungle Walk

The Periyar Wildlife Reserve is one of the largest in India. There are plenty of elephants, sambhar, wild pig, flying squirrel and over 260 species of bird life.

We arrange a local naturalist guide to accompany you on an exciting walk. Be prepared to see some amazing birdlife, but do make sure you wear long socks to guard against leeches that are a common sight here.

Boat trip on Periyar Lake

Periyar is centred around a vast artificial lake and you have the option to explore the Reserve by boat, which allows visitors to watch animals drinking at the lakeside.

The best chance of sighting animals is in the early morning or at dusk. Many animals come to the water's edge and it is one of the few places in the world where elephants can be observed at close quarters from a boat.
