Thekkady is a vital part of any itinerary for a visit to the state of Kerala. There are a number of places to visit in Thekkady. Covering most of the aspects of an ideal vacation for tourists, there are views of pristine natural beauty, of religious significance and of cultural importance. Due to the main attraction being the nearby Periyar Tiger Reserve, Thekkady tourist places are more oriented towards nature and its beauty. However, hidden amidst the beautiful forests are a few different sights that are unique to this region. This is an attempt to make a list of Thekkady’s places to visit in a comprehensive yet brief manner.

The main attraction in terms of places to visit has to be the Periyar Tiger Reserve. One of the most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries in the whole of India, The Tiger Reserve is the crown jewel of places to visit in Thekkady. Blessed with a large variety of flora and fauna, there is much more to see in the sanctuary even for those not particularly interested in nature. Home to many indigenous species, not the least of which is the majestic Bengal tiger, a lot of Thekkady’s tourism related activities are based around it. Apart from the tiger, the reserve is also home to a number of birds, some of them exceedingly rare like the Steppe Gull and the Paddyfield Warbler.

The reserve is also very well known for the number of elephants that are present here. Rounding off the list of mammals are also the Nilgiri Tahir, the lion tailed Macaque and Salim Ali’s fruit bat. The Periyar Tiger Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary is the most commonly visited and loved of the various places to see in Thekkady.

Kavitha's 8 days trip to Thekkady

Had a good trip.The staff in all the hotels were good.

Shrikant's 5 days trip to Thekkady

I recently availed a travel package from 7C Destination - Ranjith helped us book the package, and while most of the experience was positive, there were a few drawbacks that I would like to highlight. Positives: Cab Driver: Sudhish, our cab driver, was exceptional. He was not only professional but also incredibly helpful and down-to-earth, making our journey smooth and enjoyable. Hotels: The hotels included in the package were excellent, providing great comfort and hospitality. Negatives: Houseboat Experience: Unfortunately, the houseboat experience was a major letdown. Not a single sightseeing activity was covered during the houseboat trip. The houseboat remained docked in a village where the crew seemed to be engaged in other work. Before the trip, we were promised a village tour, an optional powerboat ride, and then a return for a night stay. However, the crew moved at a very slow pace, and we ended up spending the night in the same village without fulfilling the promised activities. To make matters worse, we were dropped off early the next morning without any sightseeing. I hope 7C Destination takes these concerns seriously to ensure a better experience for future travelers.

Kochharritesh's 6 days trip to Thekkady

We had a wonderful experience, and the support provided by Comfort Destination representative Mr. Robin was exceptional. However, the houseboat experience could be improved by ensuring the air conditioning is switched on before the client’s arrival. This small step would help eliminate humidity and make the boarding experience much more comfortable. Travelling with very cooperative driver Mr. Shaji.
