Wonderful Places to Visit in Thekkady

Thekkady is a popular tourist destination in Kerala that offers great opportunities for adventure seekers. The lush greenery, picturesque hills and serene lakes are just some of the reasons why this town is so special!

Explore the lush greenery of Periyar National Park

Periyar National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the most important tiger reserves in India. It has over 2000 species of plants and animals, making it an excellent place for wildlife enthusiasts to visit. The park is also home to many viewpoints where you can enjoy some beautiful scenery without having to travel far from your Hotel in Thekkady.

The environment within Periyar National Park is important because it helps protect wildlife from poachers and other threats that could harm them or their habitat if not managed properly by humans. This means that visiting this national park will help you gain knowledge about nature while also giving you an opportunity to see some awesome sights!

Take a scenic boat ride on the serene Periyar Lake.

The Periyar Lake is a large lake in the Periyar Tiger Reserve and is surrounded by lush greenery.

The lake is home to many species of birds, animals and insects. It’s also a popular tourist destination with numerous resorts on its banks.

Get more information about how to arrive at the lake from your accommodation or hostel in Kochi city by taking an autorickshaw or taxi; you can also hire a motorboat for around Rs 500 for up to two hours (Rs 1,200 for up to 4 hours), which takes you across most parts of the lake itself!

You can do things like kayaking or canoeing if you want something more adventurous but don't have time constraints on your trip; just remember that these activities aren't free since they require renting equipment from local vendors who charge high prices per hour depending on what kind of boat/canoe etcetera--this may seem steep but keep in mind there's always someone willing pay so don't worry too much!

Visit the stunning Mangala Devi Temple.

Mangala Devi Temple is a popular pilgrimage site in Thekkady. The temple is dedicated to Mangala Devi, the patroness of Thekkady and its surrounding areas. It was built in the 15th century and has been restored several times since then.

The architecture of this temple is stunning, with intricate columns supporting an archway that leads into a hall that contains many murals depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. An interesting feature of this temple is its location on top of a hillside overlooking Lake Pamba—a beautiful lake near where you'll find the town of Kollam (which we'll cover later). This makes it easy for visitors who are interested in seeing both natural beauty and religious sites at once!

Another reason why visiting Mangala Devi Temples and pilgrimage sites in Thekkady should be high on your list when planning a trip through Kerala? Its history! According to legend, when King Rama krishna Bhadravarman tried his best not having any children due to being unable to marry 

Go trekking and camping in the beautiful Gavi Forest

If you're looking for a place to visit with your family, Gavi Forest is the perfect choice. There are many activities that children will love: kayaking through rivers and exploring caves while they're learning about nature! And if you have time on your hands after exploring all that nature has to offer? Why not spend some time relaxing at one of these luxury resorts nearby?

Witness the traditional art of Kathakali dance

The performances are based on stories involving gods and demons and their battles. This is a 12 day festival that attracts people from across the globe to witness this traditional art form.

The story takes place in courtship between Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi who were once enemies but later fell in love with each other after meeting at their respective thrones during meditation time when both were asleep (Vishnu) or awake (Lakshmi).

The best time to visit Munnar would be March-May when there aren't many tourists around so you can enjoy yourself without being bothered by crowds or traffic jams.
