Thekkady is a popular resort and spice trading town next to Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary in the Cardamom Hills and provides convenient access to the park.
Walking
Early morning walks are recommended as the forest comes to life with the calls of birds and monkeys, while a boat trip on the lake is a great way to spot elephants, gaur and deer.
You may also stroll through one of the spice plantations, a highly educational and enjoyable experience seeing how crops such as pepper and nutmeg are grown and harvested.
