    Harshavardhan's 5 days trip to Thekkady

    Testimonial for 'Book It Forget It' & TravelTriangle "The overall trip planning and support from 'Book It Forget It' was awesome, especially the service from Sahil Vij. He was incredibly responsive and took quick action on my last-minute request to arrange a new houseboat with a bigger bed to comfor
    tably accommodate our family. The booking process through TravelTriangle was also fantastic; Soujanya Rai and Neha helped us finalize great options and supported us well throughout. I highly appreciate the 3-installment payment option—it really builds trust between the customer and the agency. The payment flexibility extended to our cab service as well, and our driver was a genuinely good person who was always ready to help with our luggage. Thank you for the great support!" Best Memories of the Trip The Houseboat Experience: Cruising for a full day on the Kerala backwaters was incredible. We enjoyed the ride immensely, and the larger bed accommodated our family of four perfectly. Chef Bino's Cooking: The food on the houseboat was an absolute highlight! Chef Bino was fantastic and truly made our day by cooking awesome, high-quality meals for us. Cliffside Views in Varkala: We enjoyed a lot of our time in Varkala, especially staying at the Wood House Beach Resort right on the cliff side. The views and the atmosphere there were unforgettable.

    FAQs of Thekkady

    Are tiger sightings frequent in Periyar National Park?

    Tiger sightings in Periyar are not all that frequent. However, the number of tigers has reached a healthy amount now and it is definitely worth taking a chance. Who knows, you might come face to face with one.

    Is it safe for children to go on the tiger trail?

    It is completely alright for children to be visit Periyar and it is quite safe as long as they are kept in check by their chaperones/parents. However, apart from the controlled area, it is hazardous for anyone to get separated from their group. 

    Is photography of the tigers allowed?

    Photography in case of a tiger sighting is permitted, however, as some sightings can be fleeting, it is a good idea to get as good a look as you can before whipping out the camera.
