Thekkady/Periyar food, sight-seeing and shopping options
Thekkady’s single biggest attraction is its huge lake. With 2-tier motorised boats one can go boating which takes about 2 hours per trip. On a lucky day, I’m told that many wild animals can be spotted along the lake’s shores. All that we spotted were a group of bisons (very far away), a couple of wild pigs and a herd of sambhar. We didn’t even see an elephant, for which Thekkady is so well known !! We were informed that during the rainy season, animals do not venture out since there will be enough water for them to drink inside.
