About

The destination

Why Thekkady belongs on a Kerala tour

Thekkady, beside the town of Kumily, is the gateway to the Periyar Tiger Reserve. Boat rides on Periyar Lake bring sightings of elephants, gaur and birds along the shore, while spice plantations around Kumily show how cardamom, pepper and cinnamon are grown. Evenings bring Kathakali and Kalaripayattu performances, and many guests book an Ayurvedic massage. It sits neatly between Munnar and Alleppey on 5- and 6-day Kerala tours.
