]]> A must-visit spot for the nature loving tourist. Thekkady reminds one of forests and elephants but there is more to this Idukki town located close to Periyar Tiger Reserve, a popular tourist destination. Replete with tropical forests that host diverse flora and fauna, it is a must-visit for those who love a vacation amidst nature. Tea, coffee and cardamom plantations line the hills, making the place a great experience for light treks. Thekkady derives its name from “thekku” which means teak in Malayalam. The place offers boating, bamboo rafting, trekking, border hiking and camping. Nearby areas of interest are Ottakathalamedu, Chellar Kovil, Murikkady, Anakkara and the Mangala Devi Temple apart from Pattumalay or ‘mountain of silk’.
