very peaceful place, however the boating region was very crowded and dirty.The govt boats were creaky and rusted ,a disater waiting to happen, these must be improved.

I was asked to pinpoint the best location I visited during my Kerala trip. I had no hesitation but to point out Thekkady. Granted Munnar, Cochi, Trivandrum, Kasarkodh, Ellapy and many many others have their our charm but for a tourist to relax and enjoy the natural beauty, Thekkady is the best for me. Almost all hotels have a forest... More

The GAVI trip was the highlight of the Thekkady stay.. You start 5.30 a.m for a full day picnic in the jungle.. The safari by jeep was average as our driver was young and impatient.. But once inside GAVI the staff and views were awesome. We did boating on Pamba river and took a 6 km jungle trek (a must... More

If you like to be soaked in nature that is the door of entrance! It's a good walkabout inside the park, in between trees and birds, but do not expected to see the big animals there, most you can see is the footprint of some of them. The rafting is a very tranquil bamboo canon down to the lake and... More

We visited Thekkady in end April 2013 quite apprehensive about what to expect. It was just wonderful, the thick forest, the lake which had very less water but was still magical. What we liked most was the early morning nature walk. You pay Rs. 200/- per person for at least a group of 4 people. It can be booked at... More

Though not many animals are spotted but you would definitely spot elephants, bisons, wild boars and some birds.

Thekkady situated 170km from cochin is where you can watch the famous Periyar wild life sanctuary. Thekkady and Kumily are confused most of the times where we stay at Kumily during our Thekkady trip as most of the hotels are at Kumily and thekkady has few KTDC hotels only. Thekkady and Kumily are just 1 km apart Cochin to thekkady... More

We took an early morning boat ride which was quite disappointing. We thought we'd bought an upper deck ticket...silly us. Several boats left together so the noise factor probably kept animals away. We saw birds and garu(?). That night we did a late evening safari and again saw very little...some eyes glowing in the dark and some fresh dung along... More
