Thekkady is one such treasure trove in the beautiful expanse of Kerala. Thekkady is blessed with rich biodiversity for any nature lover and wildlife enthusiast, and the world-famous Periyar Tiger Reserve centers the region.
A Nature Reserve for Flora and Fauna
Thekkady is endowed with natural beauty, and the Periyar Tiger Reserve is a conspicuous conservation area. This reserve is an active ecosystem of dense forests and different species of animals and birds. Generally, the tourists visiting here are astonished by the wildlife, elephants, tigers, and dozens of birds and butterflies.
The Majestic Tigers
The tigers steal the show at Periyar Tiger Reserve. While these magnanimous creatures are rare, their presence is widespread in the forest. But the excitement of being within their territory adds to the thrill of spotting tigers. The thrill of seeing a tiger makes every trek in the jungle an exciting venture.
Gentle Giants: The Elephants
Of course, no visit to Thekkady is complete without meeting its gentle giants—elephants. These majestic mammals are commonly seen roaming near the lake's edge and are, therefore, easy to spot. One cannot but be thrilled about watching them in their natural habitat. Witnessing a herd of elephants, more so with a mother surrounded by her calf, attests to the nurturing side of these remarkable creatures.
The Indian Bison: The Gaur
Sighting a Gaur roaming about freely in its natural habitat provides great viewing pleasure. That is a sure one in the wildlife checklist that one can expect of the scenically beautiful Thekkady.
The Sambar: Nature's Elegant Deer
While the name "sambar" reminds you of some savory Indian delicacy, in this case, it is the largest deer species found in India. They are pretty often sighted in the park, feeding placidly amidst the shades.
Rarity: Nilgiri Tahr
It is for those who embark upon higher altitudes of Mangaladevi awaiting an endangered species, Nilgiri Tahr, locally known as the Nilgiri Ibex. This creature survives the grasslands of the region. Getting a glimpse of Nilgiri Tahr is worth a fortune and symbolizes that such vulnerable wildlife needs conservation to survive.
