To provide a virtual tour to all the major tourist places in Kerala. I have gone to Thekkady 2 months ago with this purpose in mind.
Thekkady in Kerala State, India's largest wildlife sanctuary is a dream destination for any tourist visiting India. The 120 years old 'Surki' dam built across Peryiar, Poorna in Vedic parlance, is a major tourist attraction. This sanctuary is spread over an area of 777 Sq.Kms, surrounded by an artificial lake over an area of 25 Sq.Kms. Thekkady is also called Periyar and sometimes known as Kumily too. Kumily is the place where we normally stay and Thekkady is where Wildlife Sanctuary is located; both are just 2 -3 km apart.
In Thekkady wildlife sanctuary . There is boating facility at Thekkady where the boat will take you around the Wildlife Sanctuary through the Periyar Lake. One can see wild animals during this boat ride but need to be very quiet. Mullapperiyar dam can also be seen during this boat ride. Note that, Mullapperiyar dam and Periyar wildlife sanctuary can be seen only during this boating and cannot be accessed by road. Unfortunately i have no pictures of Mullapperiyar dam.
Periyar is one of the popular hill stations and the Wildlife destination of Kerala. With serene countryside, rich plantations and dense forests, the hill station of Thekkady is veritably enchanting. The cool scented air of the western ghats divulges the unexplored beauty of the place. Thekkady has distinctive flora and fauna especially the birds that differentiate it from other sanctuaries across India.
The smell of the spice-scented plantation envelops the hill station. The scenic abode of the hill station of Thekkady offers a multitude of tourist destinations.
For everyone it's a coffee but it's my energy drink it has helped me a long from my very bad headache.
