Thekkady(Periyar) Experience: Thekkady is a nice place to visit. The scenic beauty on the Periyar lake is awesome.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Sight-seeing the best. Not much of shopping centers though.
Activities & things to do: The boating on the Periyar lake is worth the amount. Best is to take under deck. People have a feeling that the upper deck gives a better view. The view is the same, just waste of extra money
