Thekkady, set within Kerala’s tropical heartland, offers a blend of rainforest wilderness, spice gardens, and lake encounters. Most famous for Periyar National Park, this region invites travelers into dense forest, wildlife observation, and serene boat safaris on Periyar Lake.
From the water, herds of elephants, gaur, deer, and numerous birds may approach the shores. Jungle walks through teak, bamboo, and evergreen trees reveal hidden streams and forest shadows. Spice plantations of cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and clove color the air with fragrance and local heritage.
Boat cruises at dawn or dusk offer calm reflection and wildlife glimpses, while guided treks lead deeper into forest interiors and tribal enclaves. The region’s tribal traditions, local markets, and rural life add cultural texture to forest immersion.
With Atlas Tours, your Thekkady experience is curated — lodge stays near the park, guided safaris, spice walk schedules, and pace to absorb nature. Whether you aim for wildlife insight, fragrance trails, or forest calm, Thekkady welcomes you into Kerala’s green and wild realm.
