Walk the wild path and let our experienced guides take you on a trekking trip or a guided walking tour. Under the dense forest cover is a cacophony of sounds; the shrill scolding cicadas, the chirping birds, the chatter of monkeys and innumerable other unseen creatures that engulf you in their ceaseless river of communication. See some rare plant species close up, and if you are in luck, fresh pug marks could add thrill to the tiger trail. The local tribal guides share the wisdom of centuries to reveal the secrets of the forests. No one understands better than them the closely interdependent, yet tenuous, links between man, the forest and all its inhabitants. At the core of the Periyar Tiger Reserve is the serene Periyar Lake, uniquely marked by half-submerged tree stumps like wonder-struck spectators to nature's glory. Encircling the waters are the lush tropical forests in which the majestic tiger roams, free and protected. The sanctuary is home to an amazing richness of wildlife, and is considered one of the finest in the country for observing and photographing animal life, especially the wild Asiatic elephant.

Thekkady, picturesquely located in Kerala's highlands, and home to the renowned Periyar Tiger Reserve, with its unspoilt tropical forests and its incredible wealth of animal and plant life, is a naturalist's paradise. But the spell really begins long before the destination. The journey to Thekkady takes you through quaint little hill-towns and softly contoured hill slopes surrounded by plantations of tea, coffee and spices like cardamom and pepper. The air, fresh and rejuvenating, is fragrant with the delicate aromas of this spice district. Superbly scenic drive to Thekkady * Cool and salubrious climate all year even in summer * Lush vegetation of the rain-drenched Western Ghats.
