Tiger Spotting

In most of the sanctuaries the sighting of animals is luck or a matter of chance. But, at Thekkady Reserve the story is different. The chance to come across is plenty. Spotting a leopard, gaur, sambar or chital is usual. The majestic animal, gaur, is the largest size, weighing upto 1000 kgs, in Western Ghats. Sambar, the big among deer, is easily sighted in groups or singly. Chital is seen in groups only.

Cats and Dogs

The dhole, or the wild dog, is a carnivore and large sambar is nothing for it. Their operation is during day time, making very easy to sight them. Small carnivores, such as, mongoose, marten, ratel and small cat, are easily seen. The nature of jungle is nocturnal, making it impossible to get in sight. Look for large ruddy mongoose. In winter it acquires brick- red coat, making it easy to spot and recognize..

Fly Sky-high

Periyar is the paradise of bird watchers. The forests inside and the lake are their territory. Large species of natives and migrants co-exist here. To spot orange-headed grand thrush, forest wagtail and for other rare ones sign up for a bird trek.. If no time to trek, walk from main gate to the boat jetty early morning to have the belly filled.

Elephants Bath at Lake

The lake, encircled by hills is a bathing Ghat for elephants. Herds of elephants bathing or playing are easily sighted. Go on a raft in the lake to watch the elephants in herds and to sight tigers (rarely).
