Gateway to Wildlife
Thekkady
Nestled in the Western Ghats of Kerala, Thekkady is a paradise for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Known for its rich biodiversity, dense forests, and scenic beauty, Thekkady offers a refreshing escape into the lap of nature.
The highlight of Thekkady is the famous Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where visitors can enjoy boat safaris on Periyar Lake and spot elephants, deer, bison, and a variety of bird species in their natural habitat.
Beyond wildlife, Thekkady is surrounded by fragrant spice plantations growing cardamom, pepper, cloves, and cinnamon — the very spices that once drew traders from across the world to Kerala's shores. A spice tour here is a sensory journey through history.
