Thekkadi
The Periyar forests of Thekkady is one of the finest wildlife reserves
in India. Spread across the entire district are picturesque plantations
and hill towns that hold great opportunities for treks and mountain
walks.
the Periyar Wildlife
Sanctuary. Spread across 777 sq.km, of which 360 sq.km is thick evergreen forest,
the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary was declared a Tiger Reserve in 1978.The splendid artificial lake formed by the Mullaperiyar Dam across
the Periyar adds to the charm of the park. This is the only sanctuary in India where
you can have the unique experience of viewing wildlife at close quarters from the safety
of a boat on the lake. The greatest attraction of Periyar, however, are the herds of
wild elephants that come down to play in the lake.
