Perched in the heart of Kerala's lush Western Ghats, Thekkady is a nature lover's paradise that offers a unique experience of adventure and serenity. The standout attraction is the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, a haven for wildlife enthusiasts who can spot majestic tigers, elephants, and a wide variety of bird species. One unique thing travellers love about Thekkady is the chance to take a boat ride on Lake Periyar, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and a glimpse into the lives of the local wildlife. The best time to visit Thekkady is from September to May when the weather is pleasant and the wildlife is active. For first-timers, it's a good idea to take a guided tour of the sanctuary to ensure a safe and enriching experience, as the terrain can be challenging and the wildlife may be unpredictable.
