A dream destination for all wildlife enthusiasts of the world, Thekkady is among the top tourists places in the state of Kerala. Thekkady, the place where Periyar National Park is situated, is home to a number of wild animals such as elephants, tigers, sambars and Nilgiri langurs. Situated on the Periyar Lake, the National Park is situated over a large area of dense evergreen forest. For wildlife buffs, this place certainly features amongst the top must-visit places in India. An option is available to stay inside the forest itself (limited), but beware - there will be no electricity; and there will be many insects, leeches and rats! And with no phone network and internet reception inside the forest, you are truly set to enjoy nature thoroughly. It is important to wear the khadisocks provided by the administrators as blood-sucking leeches are abundant in the area. Apart from the wildlife, tourists can also enjoy a host of spices that grow there - cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, coffee. Inside the forest, tourists can take a boat ride in the Periyar Lake and catch glimpses of beautiful kingfisher birds, snake birds perched upon a branch of tree, and many more. Deep inside the lake are small waterfalls - beautiful and serene to explore. Want to get the true feeling of a forest? Thekkady is a must-visit destination for all those who are planning an adventurous trip.
