Thekkady / Periyar
Thekkady is the gateway to the Periyar landscape of Kerala and is particularly attractive to travellers interested in wildlife and nature. The Periyar region is known for its forests, hills, lakes and rich biodiversity. Boat excursions, guided walks and other nature-based experiences provide opportunities to appreciate the landscape without separating it from its ecological setting. The surrounding communities also preserve traditional crafts, food and cultural practices. The region is well suited to travellers seeking a combination of wildlife, scenery and responsible tourism experiences. Its location between Kerala's highlands and the Tamil Nadu plains makes Thekkady an important component of a wider South Indian itinerary.
