The concept of ‘Incredible India’ may have been heavily publicized. However, with a vast variety of geographical terrain and several climate zones across its lands, India is home to some of the most attractive destinations across the world. One of such spots across the country is Thekkady. Situated in Idukki, Kerala, it is a town famous for its proximity to the Periyar National Sanctuary. Thekkady’s terrain is replete with acres of plantations and it has pleasant weather all year round. Adding to its charm are the sightseeing spots around this place. The waterfalls in Chellarkovil, for instance, are worth a visit. It is also famed as a source point for spices, laden with trade stores and markets where one can find the finest of tea, coffee, pepper or cardamom.  But the most prominent spot here is the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, one of the largest wildlife reserves in South India. It was declared a Tiger reserve in 1978 and is the only Indian sanctuary where visitors can sight animals in their natural habitat…from a boat! One can spot tigers, deer and most popularly, the herds of wild elephants by the lake. Know more about places to visit in Thekkady with family.
