THEKKADY

THEKKADY is one of Kerala’s most captivating destinations for international travelers who love nature, wildlife, and meaningful cultural experiences. Nestled in the lush Western Ghats, Thekkady is a place where the deep green forests breathe with life and every moment feels like an adventure waiting to unfold.

Imagine drifting across the calm Periyar Lake on a boat safari, watching elephants bathe along the shoreline, spotting deer grazing in the meadows, and catching a glimpse of rare birds soaring above the treetops. The silence of the forest, broken only by the gentle splash of water or the call of a hornbill, creates an atmosphere that is both thrilling and peaceful.

Thekkady also invites visitors into the world of Kerala’s famous spice plantations, where the aroma of cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg fills the air. Foreign travelers love exploring these farms, learning how spices are grown, and enjoying fresh, organic flavors right from the source.

For those seeking adventure, Thekkady offers bamboo rafting, jungle trekking, night walks through the reserve, and visits to tribal communities that share their rich heritage and stories. Evenings come alive with traditional art performances like Kathakali and Kalaripayattu, adding a deep cultural touch
