Periyar Trekking

For a more intimate wildlife experience

The landscape of Thekkady, with the Periyar river running through it, is an interesting biodiversity haven. For those who’d like a more intimate experience with nature and wildlife, try our trekking trails through the buffer forest areas. As you dictate your own pace, a trekking trail allows you to take in the birds and lesser fauna that you would otherwise miss out on a jeep safari. Capture the quieter moments of the forest and the daytime visitors along the water’s edge, with a forest guard as your guide.
