THEKKADY
Thekkady is probably the best place in Kerala to observe wildlife and hence nature. From the mighty Indian elephant to the Great Indian tiger, this place has it all. Elephants, deer’s, boars, bison and lion tailed macaques are a common sight in the reservoir area. With some luck, other animals like tiger and leopardcan be observed. The tourism department offers trekking right into the heart of the forest either on foot or a top elephants. The resort located in an island in the centre of the lake is the ideal place to observe animals. If you are more adventurous, you can take the road from Moozhiyar to Thekkadi via Gavi winding through the thickest forests of Kerala. Elephants are a common sight on this path. Boating through the lake is a very pleasant experience and you can observe many water birds at close range. This place is ideal for wildlife photography. The best time to visit is between September and March How ever on sunny summer days one can sight herds of wild elephants bathing in the lake. However the bisons are a wary and hardy lot and usually never allow any intruder to approach them. The sound of the motor boats scare them away. But a keen animal lover can stay in the few observation towers for a few days and luck will surely come in their way. Some of the famous tea gardens are located around this place. Further Peermade 43 k.m below Thekkady offers a golf-course and Peermade offers excellent facilities for stay
