PERIYAR WILD LIFE SANCTURIES
The pride of Kerala and a testimony to nature's splendour and human
innovation, the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is situated on the banks of
the Periyar Lake - an artificial lake, at Thekkady. Here the high ranges
of the Western Ghats are clothed in dense evergreen, moist deciduous
forests and savannah grasslands. Below this thick green canopy roam
herds of elephants, sambars, tigers, gaurs, lion tailed macaques and
Nilgiri langurs.
In addition to elephant rides, cruises on the lake and treks to the
ruined Mangaladevi temple - a beautiful old stone temple situated in the
heart of the Thekkady forest; this sanctuary offers the unique
opportunity to watch and photograph wild elephants at close quarters.
Lake Palace and Aranya Nivas are two idyllic accommodation options set in the sylvan lake side background. The romantic Lake Palace, formerly a summer retreat of the Maharaja of Travancore, is built on a small island accessible only by boat. Aranya Nivas (Jungle Retreat) a stone lodge with rubble masonry and colonial style of architecture at the head of the lake is a premium property of the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC) Hotels & Resorts.
