Wildlife-watching on a motorboat

Sail down the Periyar river to watch thirsty animals

With a rich variety of reptile and fish, a boat ride along the Periyar river is a great way to observe these lesser-known species. The river is also a lifeline for the wildlife in the park, and allows one to drift along to watch animals as they come to the banks to slake their thirst. Cruise along the mosaic of agricultural lands, the waterbodies and the woods, while keeping an eye out for the park’s noteworthy species.
